Paph Pinocchio feeding advice

[Fiona]

My Paph Pinocchio has been in flower since Aug last year. I have been feeding it with 6:20:30 soluble orchid fertilizer 1 - 2 times a month. It seems to be very healthy, with a very good, green leaf growth, no signs of any deficiency. I see there is a new growth sprouting, should I change to something with N in it, or will the N cause the flowers to drop? The other orchid fertilizer I have is 18:18:18. What effect will something containing seaweed have on it?

I think I would switch to a balanced one, but I'm not really sure. Hopefully an expert will be able to help us on this.

Thank you Rosie, I think I will try the balanced fert.

You can never go wrong with a balanced fertilizer. Something that is very high in nitrogen will stunt floral development though. 20-20-20 or something similar is just fine. I recommend diluting it to half strength and feeding weekly, though.

Thank you Joe, will start this coming week.
