Fertilizing

[kentosaurs]

Hey everyone. Just got me wondering does anyone here in malaysia fertilize their plants? If you actually do what do you even use? Recently i saw a few fertilizers from this shop called home-fix some are seaweed and some are fish emulsion from a brand called Yates..I'm not good in all this fert stuff so i don't really understand it. So basically im asking if anyone uses fertilizers on their plants and what are the results. I've been reading a lot of threads from this guy called rainforest
http://lhnn.proboards.com/index.cgi?...ad=2460&page=1

and he has amazing plants. And well he seems to encourage fertilizing when i read his threads. There are names of several fertilizers in his threads but i don't think i can find it here.So yea

well Im not from malaysia, but I'll chime in anyways.... I fertilize my neps when I
fertilize my orchids, since both are in the same growing area. Also I put a piece of
osmocote in a pitcher per plant, about every 3-4months or so. Results are great
especially for bicalcarata and ampularia.

Robert, I'm not sure if there are different types of fertilizers for this osmocote brand but if there is what do you use like the NPK and stuff(non urea etc etc)

Could be...


Kenneth,
For young plants I use 3 months 14-14-14 (NPK). For adults plants I use 6 months 13-26-7 + 1.5% TE.
