I'm a noob to this forum and to orchids but I've been growing fuchsias forever - here's my recipe for home-made aphid/any bug on my plant killer that I use on fuchsias and orchids: 1 part 70% rubbing alcohol; 3 parts water; 1 TBS Dr Bronner's Liquid Peppermint Castile soap (I sometimes use Ginger soap). Smells nice; safe for the plant and you and kills the little #$&*ers!
