Ursula and Kathy, Thank you! Kathy, I didn't ask you because I've read your regime before. The info is exactly what I wanted! I know not to feed the dormants, but I wasn't sure about bloom food, or that weakly weekly routine. I did add some Physan to the mix last time, figuring it might control the spread of pathogens , as I soak mine when I feed. I'm using Grow more urea free (20-10-20) with micros. The only ones I used bloom formula on are the cyms. I'll try Ursula's way ( not the spraying) and see how it goes.
I had read about the Bayer 3in1 on DG but the the one I got says NOT to use on potted plants. If I recall, I diluted it more and used it anyway. So far so good. Thanks again gals. If I follow the leaders, maybe someday my orchids will look as good as your's do!
