Is there any natural or organic way that can be used as insecticide for orchids?
Try a tobacco tea solution. steep a couple single chew tobacco pouches like skoal bandits in water as you would a tea bag. let cool dilute w/ water and put in a spray bottle. spray your orchids. Tobacco tea is great for spraying entire yard for bug control.

well some farmers get a whole bunch of ladybugs and release them, they can get rid of some of the insects but basically there isn't a way

You might want to crush garlic and soak it in water for 24 hours stain out the garlic pieces and save the water, next you add a little dish soap…NOT DISHWASHER SOAP!!!
This is a good aphid killer

Garlic water as stated above with the dish soap works great! You can also add 1 drop of tobasco per cup of this mixture. Pour it into a spray bottle and spray the plants leaves on both sides. This also works for roses and tomato plants.

Neem oil works for some insects- a good garden center should have it.
