Do you guys mist your orchid leaves? Planta always says to but I’ve heard not to. Just wondering what everyone’s thoughts.

I don’t mist. They seem to be doing fine without it.

I don’t mist leaves as with phaleanopsis is easy to get crown rot but got humidifier instead and give them a shower once a while just to get rid of dust and to prevent bug infestation

I have been wondering the same thing with the Planta app. I have a fine mist sprayer and barely mist them to make sure no water gets in the crown, but it makes me nervous to do it. So I might not mist them often. I haven’t misted them before and mine have always done great. Also I keep mine on the kitchen window ledge above my sink so I think they get a good amount of humidity from my regular kitchen activities.
