| I have been using worm tea from OVG for the past 6 months. I haven't had a pest problem except some scale on one plant that eventually hit the dust.
All my orchids really bloomed nicely this past spring even some that hadn't bloomed before. The root and foliage growth has been excellent too.
I use it misting and watering. I have about 30 orchids so not that many by some of your standards. I did switch about 5 orchids to semi hydroponics and most of them are doing well and growing. There was an adjustment period and the one phal is taking the longest to adjust. I use the worm tea solution, 1/3 cup per gallon to water them and just recycle it to use on the other plants too.
I'm hoping the worm tea will help with thrips which took alot of the blooms from a Dendrobrium. It is getting full of blossom right now and last year alot of them didn't bloom right before they were ready to open.
All in all I have been happy with the worm tea.
