Thanks guys, now I have learned something.
The
misting we do should be directed at the air around the plants, not on the plants. This is most effective in a closed (for the most part) environment where the humidity will be kept around the plants. It also makes sense that
misting would cool the area around the plant.
Misting aerial roots is completely different as this is the only source of water and nutrients for such orchids.
What I found most interesting is that orchids have less stomata, as compared to other plants. Which partly explains why orchids grow so slow.
