So you don't fert. when in bloom? at all?
may i ask why....Not that your doing anything wrong I'm just new and don't understand why you wouldn't?

I think what was meant is that you shouldn't get water/fertilizer on the blooms since it damages them and shortens their life span. But yes, you should continue normal fertilizing of orchids when they are in bloom. They still need food!

That's what i thought...just making sure
