When the new growths have matured I switch to a high potash fert or so
called bloom booster.So I have now stopped the higher nitrogen feed .Or you
could use a balanced feed all year round .

Thanks Keith

I will defer a real answer to someone who knows dendrobiums better than I
do, but some dends actually like a bit of cool in the fall in order to
bloom. Some like a reduction in nitrogen, and some don't care one way or
the other. So alas you have to know what sort of dendrobium you have.

Any
Idea?

Soon, as the weather cools, i have to bring in one of my orchids, which
is on my patio, shady, but bright area and doing just fine with new
growth at the base. My question is, would there be a problem? How should
I expect to see it react? I will eventually put it in the same
exposure, northeast, on a window sill in my kitchen. Oh yes, its a
bloomless Dend. Continue to fertilize or stop for the fall and winter,
here in the new york area. Thanks
