Fertilizer
 

That plant keeps on crying like a little baby :lol: and propably in the long term will start wining about this little issue.

In the netherlands getting the right fertilizer has become an art (so are getting vanda's, growlamps and a lot of other stuff as well). So I bought something that has 16-21-27 N-P-K. What will this promote in the long term??
Can vanda's withstand such high levels of potassium?

These may propably be questions of little use but that plant has shown me what real challenges are and I don't trust anything no more ;)

I tried to get my hands on 20-20-20 and 10-30-15. Too bad!:(( Advise me on right combo's plz

Im still not sure what the right amount of fert is to use. The package says 3 g in 1 L every two weeks. I use less right now every week and the plant doesn't cry (YET). This plant is costing me :twocents: by now.

Vanda's are intriguing you can't live with them, you can't live without them! :D

If you are still looking for some lights you can try here:
Rainforest-frogs.nl
I think they are located near Wageningen, but you can order online too. I got my lights there. They even sell T5 lights.

For the fertilizer, the plant takes what it needs and all the excess fertilizer is washed out. But I'm not sure!

Vandas love the heat and high light. Cooler weather really slows them down. Summer I water every day and fert. once a week. In winter water/fert once every 5 days or so. I alternate between 20-14-13 w/a couple drops of superthrive and 11-35-15 (bloom booster) w/a couple dros of superthrive. My Princess Mikasa is in bloom right now with 2 spikes......she's a beauty! Good luck with yours.

Thnx. Think Im doing fine in my case then. Still not sure what the large amount of potassium will provoke.

I need to know the name of 16-21-27 NPK fertilizer containing, for Vandas, because I can not get any

Supposedly the higher potassium will support healthy flower development and possibly larger blooms once they are actually initiated. Tomatoes also like a high potassium fert. so if you are growing any of those... :)

yes but the name off fertilizer, what is the name I do not want to single potassium

I was replying to Daemos's question about what potassium will do.

upp soerry jajaja

You fertilize more often in the winter? That's unusual. Most people fertilize less in winter. For vandas I fertilize once a week year round.

You might try ebay for fertilizers in the Netherlands.
