Default which safer do you use?

I was wondering which safer brand soap you use on your orchids, if you use safer brand
there's the insecticidal soap
and the 3-in-1 (miticide, insecticide, fungicide)
and end all (which gets bugs at all stages of growth)

are any of these bad for orchids? too harsh? I can see benefits to all three

I have used End-All with good results. Have you tested the 3 in 1 product on you orchids. Safer's products seems pretty easy on orchids.

Had bad results with End-All on Virginia Creeper....but that is another story!

I have use the 3 in 1 and had good luck. I have not noticed any harm to the plants and I like the idea of only one spray.

We can get it here in sunny Alberta (lol - 2 days and 2" of rain later!) at most greenhouse and garden centres. In the US.....
End All is Pyrethrins and Insecticidal Soap (Potassium Salts of Fatty Acids 20%, Pyrethrins 0.2%).
