A Few Complex and Species in Bloom

[tryingtoflower]

Your plants are all beautiful. I'm new to these and I would like to know what you recommend for fertilizer. I have two plants that I purchased in bloom and I'm waiting for them to flower again. They seem to be thriving otherwise. Thanks in advance.

Thank you!

If you have complex hybrids, they will usually bloom around winter into early spring.

General good culture will do. Make sure they do not dry out. Doing so at spiking season (late summer into fall or even later) may cause plants from flowering at all.

Regarding fertilizing, I only fertilize when plants are in active growth, but remember fertilizer does not make plants bloom. They have to be mature and ready to bloom. I have used Jack's Classic Orchid liquid for a number of years. I recently switched to MSU just for change.
These are just two brands I have tried, so it is just my experience rather than recommendation.
I honestly do not think brand matters much.
Try any balanced fertilizer with trace elements included, and you will be fine with your plants.

They're all very nice. Good growing.
