hey there. while i'm sure you will get other/better responses, my own experience is that sugar water can make an ok fertilizer or supplement when no better option exist (and a good fertilizer for some non-orchid plants). but personally i probably wouldn't use it as a health restoring measure. in fact, a rule i usually follow is that if plants are suffering then NO ferts or supplements are actually better until health is generally restored.
if i were you, i would seek out some kelpmax /kelpak (yes, i am banging that drum again) or other growth hormones...or, better yet, just use plain water. good luck with the saving tho!!
