Sorry for introducing another question in this thread, but it has to do with flushing, as some people have mentioned here. I believe that a lot of people fertilize 2-3 consecutive weeks then flush the 4th week. Is there such a thing as flushing too often?
Long ago I read that plants don't appreciate fertilizer on their roots when dry so I've started the habit of soaking the orchids first with plain water (which I guess would be flushing) but then I would follow with weak fertilizer (weakly weekly). I do this routinely every week. Is this step unnecessary, or maybe reduces the effectiveness of fertilizers?
