    Oh man. I’m really sorry. I haven’t had them myself (knock on wood) but have read about lots of pest treatments. Isolate that plant as much as you can to prevent spread, and check your other plants thoroughly. If it’s a phalaenopsis orchid, with thicker leaves, you may want to try an insecticidal soap. Follow the instructions on the packaging. There are also sort of insecticide ‘sticks’ that I’ve heard people had good results with- you put them in the pot, in the medium and it gives a low dose every time you water. I hope someone with more hands on experience comments if they have any other tips. Good luck- please let us know how it goes.
