How long do orchid blossoms last?greenspun.com : LUSENET : About Hawaii : One Thread |
If the orchid plant is not fertilized too often, will the blossoms last longer when they bloom? Someone told me (an orchid grower) that too much fertilizer weakens the blossoms.

I don't know, but here are a couple of extensive resources wehre you could ask (http://www.orchidmall.com/) and (http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/ Recreation/OrchidSNS/wwwsites.html). Sorry I couldn't have been more of a help.

As a general rule, when a plant is nearing or is in bloom it does not need any added fertilizers.
