Feeding Phaleopsis in winter

I appreciate it is a general rule that plants should not be fed during the winter to give them a rest period. However I have two Phalenopsis which, in the past few weeks, have sent out new flower spikes which are growing away.
Should I make an exception and feed these two?

 

Good question I was wondering the same thing. There may be info on the Kew Gardens or RHS websites as they both have big glasshouse displays from around now till the end of March. If I find anything I will post.

 

I rarely feed them, just a few times a year, I think if they are looking good and flowering its best not to over do it.

 

One issue I have now is finding a suitable Orchid feed. The ones I have seen online seem rather vague. I have Cymbidium, Dendrobium and the last couple of years also a Phaelonopsis. I used to get my orchid feed from Ray Creek Orchids but no success recently.

 

I just use miracle grow or similar.
Chempak high potash.

 

Ours are also showing brilliant growth of flower spikes. We don't feed them now but they are misted to keep the humidity up about every 3 or 4 days.

 

I use any cheap feed. When I remember.

 

Hi

you can soak rice overnight and use that to water your orchids , and then you can cook the rice to eat , win win
