Seedlings

[vjo]

At what point do you start using fertilizer and or seaweed on just out of flask phal and phaph seedlings? All are doing just fine the way they are but I would like to give them a little something....Jean

to me light and a high ( 50% plus ) humidity are more important, but generally I fertilise 1x per month with a very weak ( 1/8 ) solution with a high nitrogen number fertiliser. Mine are all in sphag, that makes a difference to what gets accumulated/flushed in the media.
I have lots of seedlings and have just deflasked paph lowii and phals. These will get fertilized in the next go round along with the other seedlings.

Thank you Orchidsarefun, do you start that as soon as they are deflasked or wait for a few weeks?
