Can you recommend a good fertilizer?

[nynighthawk]

Greetings,

Based on your experience, can you recommend a good fertilizer? I currently have two cymbidiums which have done well with little or no fertilizer. They summer outdoors and winter indoors under lights. I'm sure they'd appreciate some fertilization from time to time, though.

But, I've recently purchased a young phaius and am waiting for a Chondrorhyncha discolor, both of which I got on eBay. I'd like to start a good routine of fertilizing them and get them off to a good start. They will both be potted in sphagnum.

What would you suggest?

Also, since I'm new to this group, can you let me know if there's a way to search old threads, so that I don't ask questions that have already been discussed and answered? I didn't notice a way to search by keywords and it looks like many of the thread topics are not too specific.

No reason to reinvent the wheel and waste your time answering questions that have already been dealt with.

:-)

Thanks for any advice/thoughts you have on this,

Jess
