Kenni,

: "We try for 1x/week in cooler weather, 2x/week in the heat."
For those who may be in the novice category, you did mean that you fertilize
early in the day but within a period of a heat wave as the heat saps a great
deal of energy from the plants. Or am I misinterpreting?

Motes recommends, in his book on Vandas, feeding at every fifth watering.

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.

Thanks for the input. I may adjust my water/feed schedule
accordingly.
