Continued from page 1
Where you live, type of grass you have, condition of your soil and weather all affect your choice of fertilizer and when it should be applied. You also have a choice of organic fertilizer, liquid fertilizer, which is sprayed on, or time released granules which are distributed with a spreader. All of these factors result in many choices of fertilizer. And of course you can always purchase your fertilizer via a wholesaler online, meaning that more you buy cheaper deal.

| | Care of Moth OrchidsWritten by Robert Roy, orchids-plus-more.com
Continued from page 1
Moth orchids have no pseudopods to store water and for this reason they should not completely dry out. It is fine line to let them nearly dry out and at this point water them. You should be able to tell by seeing how light plant is before you water it. Another way is stick your finger tip down about an inch into plant and it should feel almost dry. It is at this point you should water. Let water run through plant (in top and out bottom) for about 20 - 30 seconds. It is important that any orchid plant does not sit in water because it will get root rot. Fertilize plant twice a month with a week fertilizer solution. It is recommended to cut amount of fertilizer recommended by one half. Fertilize about every other week with a balanced fertilizer except durng summer months of growth when you can use a high nitrogen fertilizer.
