FERTILIZERS 
Rivermont recommends fertilizing seedlings 
and mature plants of Cattleyas, Cypripediums 
and Cymbidiums; however, we caution that if 
the plant does not have a well developed root 
system, do not fertilize under any circum- 
stances, because the plant will not absorb 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 hor- 
mones. VHPF is used as a fertilizer, NUTRI- 
LEAF is used as a liquid fertilizer and as a 
spray for the leaves. The recommended con- 
centration of each is as follows: 
When fertilizing weekly, use 4% tablespoon 
per gallon water. When fertilizing at 
two week intervals, use 1 tablespoon per 
gallon of water. 
VHPF—3 |b. package—$1.50. 
NUTRI-LEAF-—3 lb. package—$1.60.
