I mist my plants often with fertilized water. I use approx 1/4th of the
concentration recommended for orchids. Haven't had any problems yet!. I keep
the fertilized water away from my leafless orchids though as they have a
possibility of getting damaged.


I'm baffled. If you don't mist your leafless orchids with fertilized
water, how do you fertilize them? Why would you expect the roots of
leafless orchids to be more sensitive to fertilizer than the roots of
any other epiphytic orchid?

I don't foliar fertilize my plants, but I regularly fertilize the
roots of all of my mounted plants, and that includes Chiloschista and
Dendrophylax species.

Regards,

Nick
