Well... if you really feel like doing something for your orchids go ahead and mist, it won't hurt them (won't help either)
Hi Pippin

Just felt the need to clarify what I wrote earlier...

I have a lot of vandas and mounts in my collection so I must mist everyday most of the year. When the really hot temps come (like today at 90!) they'll get misted at least twice.
