Superthrive is of questionable value. Absolutely freshly made from the factory, it may have some benefit, but what you get in the store may have been warehoused months before it got to your store, and on the store shelf for months before you buy. The synthetic auxins in it are unstable and may not be active at all when you buy it. There is a lot of stuff in the product that is not disclosed on the label.
Fertilizer is near the bottom of the list in terms of the things needed to have a healthy orchid. Water in balance with proper drainage and air movement are much more important.
As K.o.O.G. posted, you need to assess the roots. Pull the plant from the pot and look.
