Well - I'm still fairly new to the mounted plants - and haven't been sure how often to fertilize. I don't think sphag builds up the fert like other media, and basically the plants are 'flushed' nearly every day - so I have been fertilizing with quite dilute fertilzer 3xs a week or so. I have been meaning to ask about how often to fertilize the mounted plants but keep forgetting lol. Maybe someone can help us out

I'm in the same boat! I have a phal and she's super soggy from the store overwatering in super packed sphag... I love the idea of mounting my orchids... time to Google... haha

Dilute fertilizer twice a week is fine. Once a week is good enough too. I'm kinda not a stickler about fertilization. I do it whenever I remember to, usually once a week or once every two weeks (once a week is probably the better choice).
