Citrus are usually fertilized three times a year - Valentine's Day, Memorial Day and Labor Day. newly planted trees do not need fertilizer the first 1-2 years.

I don't think there's one "correct" answer to this one. The general rule of thumb is for Paphiopedilums to fertilize every 1 to 2 weeks at 1/2 the strength of the recommended dosage for other orchids such as Cattleya's and Phals. I haven't had any problems following that guideline and my plants grow quickly and strongly.
