Here in Port St. Lucie we fertilize our Vandas at least weekly using 1
Tsp/gallon, but prefer to feed more often, time permitting. They seem to
like a thrice weekly shot (water every day, of course). And for the record,
Frank installed a timed watering system for them, so now they get a good
dose of H2O twice a day, and they are really thriving.

I often hear about vandas being heavy feeders. I typically water and
fertilize my orchids on Sunday mornings while the rest of the house is
sleeping in. During most of the year I also spay down the vadas in
the morning.

How often do people fertilize their vandas? The heavy feeders thing
would make me think they maybe need to be fed more often than the rest
of my non-vanda brood.

I'm on the west coast of central Florida, if that makes a difference.

Any input or opinions appreciated.
