# Can I ask about misting please? On the app, it recommends misting…

Can I ask about misting please?  
On the app, it recommends misting quite often, however when I put a post on Facebook asking people what mist sprays they use, the general agreement was not to use them, as apparently some leaves don’t like getting wet!!  
So now I’m confused!! 😵‍💫 x  
Thank you everyone for all the advice and tips - I’ve bought a humidifier from Amazon and some Neem oil, so fingers crossed that’s better for all my plant babies 👶 x

Depends on the plant. My ponytail palm and dieffenbachia requires a bit more humidity than the rest of my plants so I mist them 2 times per week.

Hi, thank you!! Can I ask what mist spray you use? X

### Shamana commented on 2024-02-23

Regular bottled drinking water.

I honestly didn’t know that there were misting sprays for plants. I grew up using water in a spray bottle. And I have 36 plants. Only one has died in the last 3 years.

lol, sounds like the perfect recommendation to me!! Thank you

Yeah I don’t mist. I just use humidifiers if the mist doesn’t dry up fast enough it can cause fungi problems to the plant… just something I learned from a lot of videos as well

Thank you

Np 👍🏼

And Just I just wipe the leaves once a week with neem oil which is great for wipe/cleaning your plants they look so nice afterwards

Agree

Bottled water is definitely unnecessary. Plants in nature don’t drink or get rained on with bottled water.
