I've finally been able to keep orchids alive! Now I'd like to get them to rebloom. They're in my bathroom right in the window, which I believe faces north. I have them in orchid pots and orchid medium. I've been using regular fertilizer on them but is there one better for orchids? Also, should I add a grow light? TIA

In a north facing window I feel like it would need more light. There is plant food specific to orchids.
