Those reusable mesh coffee filters work pretty good, and they last forever.

You could also try aquarium filter floss stuffed into the bottom of a funnel.

A question that comes to mind is why you'd want to spray a fertilizer solution in the first place?

If you're working on vandaceous roots, OK, but don't bother with foliar feeding, as that is pretty much worthless with orchids.
