I am in need of getting new fertilizer (I've been using Grow-More) and since I just acquired many new Multiflorals, I wanted to check with everyone to see what fertilizer they would recommend ...
Thanks.
Thanks.

Oh dear... I'm not going to argue which is best but I'd reccomend either K-lite, DynaGro, or MSU.

Yeah, and ........................?
I believe that Cheyenne meant that there is a lot of discussion about fertilizer in the slipper orchid culture section already. You will see it in the first three pages. This section is for paph photos.

This is the right section. The multis seem to love fertilizer. I had really good results over summer with a base of controlled release and boost with liquid + lots of water!
Read the thread indicated and then buy K-Lite from Ray at First Rays. I've
seen such improvement in already nice plants that I'm thrilled with the
low K fertilizer.

Fairy dust. Made from real fairies specially snap frozen, freeze dried and ground into a fine powder with grains of no more than 20 micron in diameter. 1 tsp per 10 gallons for complex paphs, 1 table spoon per 10 gallons for multies.
The tiny bones are a great source of Mg and Ca.

Peter's dry is fine, bolstered with a little epson salts to make it K-like.
I like the idea of faerie dust, but I bet it smells bad.
The plants do really well but sometimes the plants take off... Its best to pot in stone. The freeze drying prevents putrefaction.

This stuff only works with rothschildianum and sanderianum album plants.
