Paphiopedilum Hawaiian Illusion

[Ray]

This plant was a single growth - maybe a nub of another emerging - about 16 months ago.



Still in the same pot, fed K-Lite @ about 30 ppm at every watering, with KelpMax @ 1:256 monthly, alternated with Inocucor Garden Solution @ 1:100 two weeks later.

This plant was a single growth...

This means some of the growths rebloomed?

Wow! Awesome!

Such incredible results! What is your procedure when you feed? Do you let the plant soak in the solution for a while?

My plants tend to languish over the winter, because I don't have the best indoor lighting or temperature control for them. Would you recommend continuing to use these products, even while the plants aren't in prime growing conditions?

Paphs don't rebloom. Those the the four that grew and matured in that time period.

I meter fertilizer into my RO as I use it, and hand water with a wand. Everything gets absolutely soaked top to bottom - usually including me.

By the way, I originally misstated the amount of KelpMax (now corrected). It's one tablespoon per gallon (1:256), not one ounce per gallon (1:128) as I originally stated.

Very well grown. I think I see a difference in my plants since using both of these also. I am not however very consistent in using either nor fert.

I am using 1oz kelpmax to a gal and 3 Table of the inocucor. Should I cut them back some?

Yes. Half of that dose of KelpMax is plenty. 3 Tbsp/gal is fine for the Inocucor product.
