Thank You, Sonya !

I am glad your plant revived and has two spikes....
these has such a floriferous spike that the fragrance wafts from the window to the door when I come in

Thank You, NYC orchidman !!!!

I use Algoflash weekly weakly alternated with seaweed mix and worm tea mix(for thicker roots and better looking leaves)....it doesnt have rest so whenever I can I water it liberally....the leaves might have mites and scales; let alone the perennial fungi infestation....but this plant is tenacious....I just clean it up with hydrogen peroxide with a ball of cotton on both sides of the leaves....
its just a matter of diligently cleaning the leaves whenever you can

Well, from what I can see in your picture, leaves are just solid green. look so good! Mine had some little black fungal spots, I guess what they call Thai disease, like those little diamond shaped spots found on vandacious plants sometimes.

By the way, I just looked up algoflash and they had orchid fertilizer. I'm almost running out of my dyna gro, so I will go ahead and try this new brand. Their claim is impressive. They also had not so toxic fungicide, so I will also try that on my oncidiums to see if it will make any difference.

Wow~ wormteas and seaweed mix...all these stuff I've never heard of. I guess all those micronutrients in the chemical fertilizer isn't good enough or hard for plants to absorb?
Have you always used them all together for your fertilizer regimen? Do you believe they work better than just fertilizer alone? If so, I would love to try them.
By the way, does wormtea stink?? the name sounds kinda gross. lol

Ok, too many questions.
Thanks in advance!

Very nice Bud! Do you water this plant daily with this grow method?

I use fertilizer weekly weakly but spray this plant daily on the roots to humidify it....

The seaweed mix smells fishy but not that bad, its tolerable(it has deep green coloring that stains your hands if you drop some on your skin=it washes off with soap)....the worm tea mix has no smell at all but its dark and murky
*these are organic not chemicals....not harmful to humans or pets

Thanks bud. Just ordered seaweed extract and started using it this last weekend. Watch out board, here comes my daily orchid flower postings lol

Good stuff Bud...It seems that you're trying to give me a run for my money this year man!
You seem to have a lot of very delicate looking hybrids. Really gorgeous tho!

[Bud]

@Cristiano....you can continue using your fertilizer; you have the right temperature and humidity for Vandacious....you need not spend extra....my hybrids were given to me(I had no choice)....I usually like species
