Is worm tea okay on new growth?

I have a Phal with four or five new leaves (Baby leaves).It is recovering from some very bad treatment-- Following the advice of a forum member, I cut off the new-growing flower spike (really hard to do!!), but it needed the energy and in the long run will help the plant to grow stronger. The question is, now that I have three mature leaves(healthy) and all those baby leaves, can I use worm tea on it a couple of times a month? Or is that still too much stimulation? I never have used it before, but picked some up last week as everyone on this forum seems to think highly of it. I thought it gave the plant a kind of gentle push... Am I wrong to use it on new growth? It will enhance root growth, too, won't it? (The baby leaves are only about 1-1/2 inches long.)TIA!
