Is Epsom salt good for orchids?

I know that epsom salt is wonderful for many plants. For our staghorns, we sometimes blend epsom salt, bananna peelings, and water together and pour it on them. We heard that from The Garden Rebel, an expert in the remote area. Then I read somewhere that it is good for orchids. I tried approximately one tsp per gal of water. Of course this happened to be right around my routine fertilizing. Should this be a replacement or is it safe to fertilize?
