4pm full sun brassavola subulifolia

Water

I'm using Zero Water filter for orchid spray. 1/2 cap full of kelp w 1/2 diluted fish emulsion (quite diluted) per 1-2 gallons. Ideally let this sit overnight. Every 2 weeks or so, I'll add a few drops of SuperThrive.

Are the high NPK fertilizers necessary for blooming?

It's the dog days of summer and near impossible to over-water. A constant ocean breeze keeps air around roots circulating.

Stuck inside

new combinations

Large pot with sea grape in center, spindle palm in back, fern, thunbergia, burly marx, primrose, bougainvillea, etc. Sea grape has several 'trunks' all vertical, a handsome habit. 

Just enough shade to tuck this ginger in next to a big pot of macho fern. Both easy to grow..
