The preventive "tonic" treatment is a 1:100 solution applied on a monthly basis, but if you are battling an active infection, a several-hour soak in a 1:50 solution is warranted, and I recommend daily mistings with that for about a week following, to reinforce the population of beneficial microorganisms in the plant.
I bought a $150 phalaenopsis clone once that brought erwinia with it. Erwinia is a bacterial infection that very rapidly "liquifies" the plant internally, killing it in a few days. The curative treatment I recommended stopped it cold.
