I have her permission, would NOT take them otherwise. I use Nutracote which
is suppose to be formulated for FL and they claim it last for 6 to 9 months.
Have had success with it.

Dave,

First of all I hope you ask first before you take her old nylons grin.
If
not does she hang you out with the Vandas?

I have heard that the time released fertilizers (osmacote) breaks down
very
quickly when it gets hot in the sun. Someone told me not to use in on
seedlings for this reason because it will burn tender young plants (not
just
orchids).

Does anyone have any experience with this?

Good Growing,
Gene

I make a little bag with time release fertilizer in it, my wife's old
nylons
get a second life. This way they get feed a little each time I water,
have
done for several years and have some very healthy Vanda plants.

OK, so they're air plants basically but will a regular solution of
Chempak
Orchid Fertiliser do, had it a couple of months now and think it needs
some
grub.

Any ideas?
