So I read a lot about Michigan State University's orchid fertilizer and I wanted to give it a try. My orchids are all mounted with tillandsias, epiphytic ferns, various other bromeliads, ant plants, hoyas, dischidias....everyone mounted together in this glorious jungle...BUT--I have heard copper is deadly to bromeliads so I am a bit nervous about using this. Does anyone

1.) have experience with this fertilizer, and

2.) think it would be OK to just "spot mist" the orchids only with this fertilizer, despite the occasional proximity to bromeliads?

Kindof a loaded question, I know...but I have faith in the brilliant experienced orchid people out there!
