Default Fertilizer Preferences

Hi Everyone-
I apologize if this has been covered previously, but I checked the newsgroup
archive and didn't find what I was looking for.

I have been growing orchids for a number of years (mostly phals and species
paphs: venustum, hirsutissimum, spicerianum, armeniacum, micranthum), on the
windowsill, in a barked-based medium. I use Peters 30-10-10 for
fertilizing, with okay, not great results. I have never used a blossom
boosting fertilizer. I have some multifloral phals that I have never
achieved the branching inflorescences that I would like to see. My question
is two-fold: would I really do that much better with a blossom booster
fertilizer (would you have to apply this according to the individual plant's
bloom season), and second, I would like to get some input on Dyna-Gro
fertilizer as an alternative to Peters. Thanks in advance.
