Should I be fertilizing my Paphs now ?

[NeoNJ]

I just realized, my 2 Paphs have not bloomed in well over a year - they were purchased in bud/spike, and haven't bloomed again .... should I be using fertilizer on these Paphs year round ?

Thanks.

Certainly if they are growing. If they are resting, I'd hold off, or at least not as much.

Have yours developed any new growths? They only bloom from new growths.

If so increasing light or bouncing the temperature is probably more important than food.

Many are seasonal too, so depending on the parentage, you may not be able to get a new bloom unless you manipulate light/temp at the right time of year.

Only if you want them to grow or bloom.
