A couple of questions on fertiliser
A while ago I bought two packets of locally-produced fertiliser.
One was described as a regular food and the other as a ‘bloom booster’.
Their NPK formulae are
22/3.7/14
And
15/3/25
respectively.
I have since read here that the distinction between growth and flower-boosting fertilisers is a myth - that’s good, any simplification is good.
Anyway, I’ve now used up all the regular growth formula but haven’t touched the bloom booster. My question is should I use the bloom booster as a regular fertiliser, or toss it and buy some more regular fertiliser??
I should explain my focus is not to extract the very last mm of growth out of the orchids, but I don’t want to use something which is essentially useless either.
And the second question. Outside of winter, I hand water my 200plus orchids with fertiliser weekly, and hand water with kelp solution every month or two. Is there any problem with mixing the two together, and saving myself a bit of time?
Cheers
Arron
