"Loves" salts, I doubt. "Tolerates them well", more likely.

I agree with you Ray for your info the plants growing about 10 meter from salt water.

Have you considered dosing with some Epson Salts, not sure if that would do the trick, just a suggestion. I know a major bulbo hybrid developer in Florida sprays all of his plants, except a few species, on the 1st of every month!

Nope .........but the fertilizer I bought from local nursery containing Magnesium I hope it's more than enough to make it the plants more vigor and easily to induce flowers.Thanks Jack for the info of important element for the orchids.
