Is my tap water suitable for Paphs?

... If I use fertilizers whit macro and micro nutrients is that enough?

I found this list of macro and micro nutrients that supposedly orchids need. Thought you could use it to check the content of your fertilizer.

Macronutrients

Nitrogen (N) - leaf and stem growth
Phosphorus (P) - flowering
Potassium (K) - general health, builds tissue
Calcium (Ca) - cell activity
Sulfur (S) - works with nitrogen and phosphorus
Magnesium (Mg) - food production

Micronutrients -
Iron (Fe)
Manganese (Mn)
Zinc (Zn)
Copper (Cu)
Boron (B)
Molybdenum (Mo)
Chlorine (Cl)

Take care, Dana

Recently I read something that brings up another question about using distilled water. I read that using a "regular" orchid fertilizer in rain water or RO water can burn your orchids. Is this true for distilled water as well?

If so, how much should I dillute my "regular" orchid fertilizer so that I can use it in distilled water? The package says to use 1 teaspoon of fertilizer per gallon with every watering.

Thanks! Dana
