Do all of these plants truly need misted? I know some plants like mist more than others. I just want to make sure these plants would like mist before I actually do it

Misting is kinda controversial in the plant community since some people believe it’s not really beneficial to your plant because it’s intended to increase humidity and moisture but it only does so for a short period of time and investing in a humidifier is better. While I personally use a humidifier I mix distilled water with a fertilizer specifically foliage focus that way my plants are able to absorb extra nutrients while getting a little water. My plants have been thriving but I know lots of people don’t mist at all and their plants are also very healthy

Every experience plantsman or plantswoman will tell you water schedule are not really good for plants go by eye and feel (wooden skewer or water meter best)

I don’t have a humidifier and yes I mist a couple of times a day for my plants even when planta says it’s not anything to do it’s only for a short period of time but the ones that unfrill their leaves over time it’s really good for them

I don’t mist any of my plants and they are all fine

I dont typically mist my plants but I'm starting to. I dont have a humidifier so I'm just following planta for now.

Like someone said above, people have different feelings about misting your plants
