Feeding Phalaenopsis?


Question
Hi Mr. Jim Kawasaki;
This website is very informative, I am glad I found it. I need your expert advice. Could you please advise me if I should feed my blooming Phalaenopsis orchids and how often?
It currently has about 8 flowers on each stem. Thank you very much. Tri

Answer
Hi Tri,

I would suggest getting a balance type fertilizer that is recommended for orchids.  Phalaenopsis do not require lots of fertilizer to grow and bloom so use about half the amount suggested twice a month.  

Hope this helps.
