As you are in Spain, would imagine have comfortable Average temperatures ? you would maybe be better misting when you can so more than once a day .

Hi,
I have the minigreenhouse indoors. The temps outdoors at night in Barcelona are arround 10-14 ºC.- I mist twice a day (morning and evening). The Catts are improving, but the Maxillarias and Odontoglossum are worse than ever. There are no signs of growing!
May be they need cooler Temps?
Thanks

It can give the plants enough of a boost to pull them through.

Hmmm, I just received some bare root Stanhopeas and I think I just might try this. Thanks for the tip!
