...and your fertilizer has very little to do with that.

Orchids, in general, have a very limited need for grower-provided nutrients - the ingredients in fertilizer only constitute a few percent of the dry weight, and that may be as low as 10% of the "wet weight" as it lives and grows.

Instead, I'd attribute your success in your skill at providing the correct overall cultural conditions the plants need.

Thankyou very much Ray. I've tried to be a good student, glad it's paying off. Merry christmas and happy new year to all.
