What are you trying to accomplish by misting? If it's cooling, which is apparently Susanne's goal, fine (but be as careful as she). If it's to raise the humidity, forget it, as you should be misting around the plant to "wet" the air. Wetting the leaves lowers the surface area many orders of magnitude compared to a mist and slows the evaporation process.
