Most of the ones that I have suggest they're systemic when applied by spraying. Perhaps it's easier than saying translaminar movable. So, keeping in mind the underleaf spraying close to dawn, would this be a good idea? Thanks.

L.E: "Translaminar insecticides penetrate leaf tissues and form a reservoir of active ingredient within the leaf. This provides residual activity against certain foliar-feeding insects and mites. Because the active ingredient can move through leaves, thorough spray coverage is less critical to control spider mites, which normally feed on leaf undersides. Insecticides/miticides with translaminar properties include but not limited to abamectin (Avid), pyriproxyfen (Distance), chlorfenapyr (Pylon) and spinosad (Conserve). In general, these types of materials are active against spider mites and/or leafminers."

Many are absorbed by thin-leaved plants, but orchids aren't like that. Stomatae are so small that water surface tension can come into play, preventing water from entering them except when under pressure, like submerging.

Orchid growers using systemic insecticides spray the plant and drench the medium. Spraying the plant kills insects on the plant. Drenching the medium kills insects in the medium that might escape a foliar spray. It also provides pesticide to be taken up by the roots and translocated through the plant.
