There is no doubt that applications of completely soluble fertilizer at weekly or bi-weekly 
intervals from March 15 until September 25 are highly beneficial to your orchid seedlings, 
mature Cattleyas, Phalaenopsis, Cymbidiums, Zygopetalums, Cypripediums, and other varieties. 
It has been established that, because of the short days between September 25 and March 15 
it is not necessary to fertilize orchids to stimulate them to optimum vigor. As everyone 
knows, it takes either long exposures of sunlight or artificial light to stimulate many plants 
into vigorous growth. 
Rivermont recommends fertilizing seedlings and mature plants of Cattleyas, Cypripediums, and 
Cymbidiums; however, we should like to caution that if the plant does not have a well developed 
root system, it should not be fertilized under any circumstances, because the plant will not be 
capable of absorbing the nutrients which are made available in the potting medium. 
These are the two fertilizers we use and recommend} 
VHPF (Guaranteed Analysis 6% nitrogen, 25% phosphorous, 15% potash) 
NUTRI-LEAF (Guaranteed analysis 16% nitrogen, 16% phosphorous, 16% potash) 
Both of these superior plant foods contain trace elements and growth stimulating hormones .VHPF 
is used as a liquid fertilizer, and Nutri-Leaf is used as a liquid fertilizer and as a _spray 
for the leaves. The recommended concentration of each is as follows: 
When fertilizing weekly, use 1/2 tablespoon per gallon of water. 
When fertilizing at two week intervals, use 1 tablespoon per gallon of water. 
Try VHPF and NUTRI-LEAF on your orchids and observe the difference. Both of these fine plant 
foods are available in the 3 lb. economy-size package.
