Water Makes Flowers Wilt?

[dianecty]

Hi everyone! I have a watering problem. I put my orchids on a plant stand that have grills as shelves. When I spray my plants using a garden hose or a gallon sprayer, the water flows into the pot and comes out the bottom and side in large droplets - hitting the flowers below.

If I spray above the flowers, the flowers wilt or the petals become thin and wilt and die.

Even I spray in a mist style with the smallest droplets possible, this still happens. It's like the water droplets are too harsh /big on the flowers. HOw do I fix this? Is the force of the spray too strong or is it that the droplets are too big?

Any suggestions?

Thanks
