I'm using 'Bill's Best' fertilizer from Bill Thoms of bulbophyllum fame.
and I'm adding some seaweed extract (available at any garden center) and a
bit of iron. Personally out of all that i feel (no science involved) that
the seaweed extract has done the most difference.

Failing all that rigamarole, if one used a pelletized fertilizer, something
like nutricoat, one would get a benefit.

I been reading some of the online articles on what to give your
orchids, I understand that it varies by what medium you have them in,
but I was wondering what others fed their orchids

I am currently giving mine Superthrive, gubler orchid food (19-8-16 +
1%Mg, .01 B, .05 Cu, .1 Fe, .5 Mg, .005 Mo, .05 Zn) Pure blend (7%
humic acid). with tap water (glacer run off - they bottle the muni
water and sell it to tourist visiting Alaska)

All my orchids seem to be doing well (except for the 2 ******* childern
in my previos post)

I would love to know what others are feeding their orchids.
