Nothing special. You can use just about any fertilizer that is designed to be used with the type of water you use. The MSU blend is formulated to provide the mix of nutrients most orchids expect. But there is nothing really special. I just like it. But I also use a couple others.

I ended up getting the 12-2-14-6CA-3MG MSU fertilizer...not sure if it's for tap water or RO, but I use RO. I think I read somewhere that someone (maybe you?) thought it was for tap water because it seemed a little low...so they doubled it from 1/2 a tsp to 1 tsp.
