I realize fertilizers are no magic fix and there won't be miraculous changes. But since I have a certificate in horticulture, University of Sask. I do understand the basics of plant growth, culture and all the other influences. The same friend said their Paphs (and he grows awesome Paphs. improved considerably when he switched from MSU to the Plant Prod. It may just be our water which doesn't agree with the MSU as well as the other or something, but I am willing to try a different feed. It is not going to hurt my plants any as it obviously hasn't killed my friend's. Since I grow and bloom a good variety of orchids (and many other plants) I really don't think I am WAY off base.
