Bark media and fertilizer
I recently just repotted my Phalaenopsis in a mixed media containing Fine grade fir bark, charcoal and coarse perlite.
I read somewhere that because I'm using bark that I need to change from my 20-20-20 to a 30-10-10 because of something to do with the decomposition of the bark messing with nitrogen levels.
What truth is there to this and should I run out and get a different fertilizer? Also, with a different ratio, do I continue with my weekly half strength fertilizing?
Thanks,
Dustin
