FERTILIZING: Cattleyas, When to Stop
The idea that it is good to stop fertilizing at some point is a myth; plants at rest do not need fertilizer but it does no harm to them; 30-10-10 or 20-10-10 are better than 18-18-18 for steady feeding. A73-338

FERTILIZING: Programme Recommended
Monthly: one pound to 100 gals. water, or fortnightly 1/2 pound to 100 gals. of water; or 1/4 pound if applied weekly; tree fern, osmunda, so lite, holite and terrestrial mixtures require 10-10-10 ratio; barks. need 30-10-10; or, if 20-20-20 is used use half as much; fill the pots with solution freely, to leach.
