Try Orchid Food Plant Food by Schultz. My son gave a plant for Mother's day about 10 years ago and It has bloomed every year, one year it seemed to be in continuous bloom. I read that if you give it a SMALL amount of plant food each time you water it, it will bloom more than once a year. It also likes humidity so I keep them by the kitchen sink. I now have 3 plants from the mother plant. I read that you can add ice cubes to water it, but I have always watered my orchids with warm water with about 1/16 of a teaspoon of plant food. It is an easy plant to grow.
