Hi jerhuty58,

First of all, welcome to our forum. It's always good to be able to say welcome to a new member and I hope you'll continue to correspond with us and share info and pictures.

As for your question, every grower has a different idea of fertilizing Vrieseas (or any other brom's for that matter) and I can only tell you what I do.

When I repot, I add Osmocote (as per manufacturers instructions) to the top of the potting mix when the pot is about three quarters full. I then finish topping up the pot with more mix and give it a thorough watering. This amount of fertilizer should last for about 4-6 months. After that, I give a liquid feed alternating between Manutec and Phostrogen each month. This seems to suit my conditions in coastal south eastern Australia.

There are however much more experienced vriesea growers on this forum than I, so no doubt you will hear from them in the due course. Also, if you type "fertilizing vrieseas" into Google, it will bring up a wealth of information from growers far and wide.

I hope this helps you a bit, all the best, Nev.
