Wait on fertilizer after repot

[Orchid Whisperer]

Fertilizer is very low on a priority list for meeting an orchid's needs. Echoing some of the prior comments, an orchid won't use fertilizer unless it is actively growing and has healthy roots. There is no harm in waiting.

A possible harm in providing fertilizer too soon: if there is any root damage following the re-pot, added nitrogen and other nutrients could potentially fuel growth in bacteria and fungi (both require nutrients to grow).
