Feeding Darlingtonia

[ShoalCreek]

Hi Guys-

I have some new(ish) Helis that I have been feeding with orchid ferts. Maxsea, I forget the ratio.. I think its 16 16 16. If I keep with the schedule, every 2 weeks.

Anyway, I have a new adult sized Darlingtonia. Can I feed it the same way?

Also, I am trying to use my iPad to upload a pic, image fails to upload. Is it because there's no way to upload the pic size... pic too large?

Thanks!

Best regards, Lisa

Sure, use the same fertilizer, twice a month. I generally use 1/4 strength 30:10:10 orchid fertilizer . . .

I've attached a picture of my plants. Not very exciting yet, all are fairly new and have had a rough journey.
Originally, I was going to create an enclosure in the house - but I wasnt satisfied with the amount of light.
The plants are now in the greenhouse, with rainwater circulated from my in-ground water tank. The water is about 65F, 60F or lower in the morning.
In the near future, I will start using the greenhouse fans - which will really reduce the humidity. I am going to put a couple of misters on either side with a seconds timer.
