You can use slow-release fertilizer on orchids. Several commercial

to use Osmocote because it is too temperature dependent. Dynamite/Nutricote
(I think they're the same thing) are supposed to be much better. There's
another one advertised for orchids (Throw-and-Grow or something like that).

Here in South-west Florida the local labs I frequent use Dynamite. Been
getting more rain here, too, and will be adding a teaspoon or two to my
plants this weekend myself.

I have Dynamite but will hold off for now. Outside temp. is around 95,
no need to hurry.

I have a few oncidiums that could use a little dynamite... Or a
chainsaw. Would a few big firecrackers tied together work?

1) There is always room for one more orchid
2) There is always room for two more orchids
2a) See rule 1
3) When one has insufficient credit to obtain more
orchids, obtain more credit
