It was hard for me to see the %. But, again, choose the one that offers a little more ammonia based nitrogen. Urea isn't as readily useful to the plants as a nitrogen source. Curse my aging eyeballs

"Use the miracle grow in July and August. Use the Virgo in June September October. This will give you more nitrogen in the peak growing Of summer" Fred Clarke

I called him and this is what he told me. Ordered straight from him, paypal him $50 and he said he sent me 3 Cataserums in blooming size and thats including the shipping already. It might come today or tomorrow

Good Luck on your catasetum growing ! sounds like you are hooked.
I move mine outdoors in Summer and top-dress with poultry manure granules, bone meal and blood meal - at varying times. I also am using fertiliser baskets ( on e-bay ) for nutricote granules. With this regime, I don't have to bother with mixing other water-based fertiliser and can use the hosepipe/ rain water freely.

Yeah i caught the orchid bug. Where are u located? Ill try it out and master thier characteristic before i dive in with natural fertilizer and bringing them outdoors. I only live in an apartment so outdoors is not yet an option for me. Thanks for the help!
