Worm casting tea
Castings make a great tea for orchids. Taking the liquid that drains from the vermiculture tub and mix it with water and a bit of molassas and airiate it for a couple of days. I use an old air pump from a fish tank. Then dilute it about i part tea to 5 parts water or even weaker. Don't get it on the leaves when you water. Again, weaker tea can be added to your regular watering cycle. Plants like it and it contains lots of trace elements. Try it on a few plants first to make sure they are happy with it. Of course, there shouldn't be any meat products in your worm castings and if you use organic produce it will be even purer. don't worry though if you don't use organic produce it still will work just fine.
