The orchid grower in Brazil probably has excellent conditions for growing orchids, and the only thing missing is supplemental fertilizer. In these circumstances it hardly matters what be used. Under other circumstances the type of fertilizer may matter.

Do you mean you don't want flowers? I can't remember where you live. Many Phal hybrids are triggered to bloom by several weeks of average temperature drop during the fall or early winter. If there's adequate fertilizer and the proper trigger they will bloom. If there's insufficient fertilizer and the proper trigger they will probably still bloom, but not so magnificently. If there's insufficient fertilizer and insufficient trigger they probably won't bloom.
