    Hi,
    Is there a fertilizer being sold with the same or similar elements as these?
    9-6-27, 16-6-23, for Orchids.
    I was looking for a fertilizer that had a higher 'K', rather than such a high 'P' level that so many seem to have.
    Thank you for any assistance.

    Hi there:

    This doesn't really answer your question, but I used to keep and *flower* Encyclia orchids under lights using only freshwater aquarium waste water (to which I regularly added mineral supplements but nothing else). I don't know what this particular water chemistry was nor do I have any hard science to back it up. All I can say is it worked for me. YMMV.
