Fertilizer misconception to talk about

Over the years I have noticed a growing trend amongst new orchid growers to fertilize too weakly.

what you have to remember is that in nature nobody goes around with a pair of scissors snipping off flower spikes after they have bloomed.

Just my opinion but the way I see the importance of the dark period is to let the plant know what time of year it is.

A walkeriana like many other cattleya species are seasonal growers. This means...

I agree.

However when it comes to the other nutrients it is far harder to get the right answer. Ray's website is one opinion. But it seems to be very popular on this forum. In fact I'd go so far...
