So ever since I got this orchid, I've been spraying it almost every other day with Schultz Insect Spray. Its water-based and hasn't harmed the blooms at all. The problem is that the aphids won't go away. They seem to be getting bigger and fatter by the day! I haven't tried the mixture that some people were suggesting, but I was wondering if anyone has had any other methods to get rid of the buggers.

I'm going to try the worm tea now and see if that does the trick.
