I fertilize all my orchids when they in bloom and out of bloom. I've seen no problems with fertilizing while in bloom.

Do you use the same type of fertilizer in or out of bloom?

Do phals need a rest period?

I give mine the same treatment all year round. Generally speaking Phals don't need much if any rest period.

As the weather gets cooler I find I need to water less, but this is not a rest as such, just reduced evaporation in the winter.
