Kelp Help

[kg4usk]

Hello all! First post here.

TLDR; I bought a 'big box store' Phal 9 years ago when I moved into my home, and somehow managed to keep it alive (and blooming) for the first 7 years in the original moss by dunking it in tap water for a couple hours and then squeezing the excess water out like a sponge every few weeks (sounds ridiculous, I know lol). Repotted in bark a couple years ago, but she hasn't bloomed or sent out a spike since.
After doing some reading online about orchids, my interest piqued, and I found myself walking out of Chadwick's (some of you may be familiar) with a box of assorted plants.
I've been trying to absorb as much info as I can here, but at this point I feel like an old dog trying to learn new tricks.


Onto the actual question; I know that you shouldn't use ferts while the plant is in bloom, but does that also apply to kelp additives? Or is it okay to dose kelp while in bloom?

Thanks in advance!
