Default Re: Trying not to kill my orchid..

Hi Quinn. I honestly don't think urea will do much harm to orchids. The point made when most people suggest using urea-free fertiliser is that microbes are needed to break down urea before it can be taken up by the plant. The roots of your phal don't seem particularly healthy, so I would avoid fertilising it until it has made new roots.

Bactrus, phal violacea, cornu-cervi etc with the zigzaggy spikes bloom whole year round...
