I sort of agree with Restrepia. It depends on the environment you are striving for. I grow in a semi-sealed large terrarium and need/want to maintain 90+ percent humidity but don't want overly wet plants and mold. I use the MistKing system but I use the delux nozzles - they have more adjustments and are worth the few pennies difference. I also use the deluxe pump because I don't want any chances of break down or problems if the reservoir runs dry. I am growing Bulbos, Cischwenfias and Dendros in pots besides several spp mounted and hanging and none have had rot or mold problems. I use the interval timer Mist King sells and it's set for 5 seconds mist every 4 hours during day cycle and no mist at night. I also run a small (3") PC fan 24/7 inside the tank directly onto the plants to help dry off excess moisture. In answer to your question, yes I use this system and I like it a lot (as well as the service.)

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Masdies, Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)
