No, I don't believe it does. Because of how we grow (in a greenhouse), we cannot withhold food from plants in bloom or out of bloom, so everyone gets fed at the same time. I cannot tell any negative difference. I recommend feeding once a week with a 1/4 percent mixture. Also flushing the orchid pot with pure water after feeding the following watering cycle is a must to avoid buildup of salts that can harm your orchids roots.
