dear friends,
Next week I would be getting new fertilizer for my orchids.
It will be the MSU fertilizer. Now, I'm thinking of changing my feeding regimen since this is the new fert both for me and for my plants. My plan is to go slowly so at first month I'm planing to feed them at rate of 50 ppm N. Second month I should increase rate at 100 ppm N and finally the third month I'm thinking to go back to my regular feeding of 125 ppm N.
Secondly, I water my plants weekly by soaking them in the solution for about 10-15 minutes. I replace solution for each new plant so to minimize chances of getting contaminated if any of them have fungus or something.
I'm not planing to change watering technique.
What is your opinion on all of this? Does it sound reasonable?
Thanks for any opinion and advise you may have.
