Default Terrarium misting & water in the crown??

Isn't there a possible issue with getting water sitting in the crown of an orchid? I'm slowly setting-up my vivarium (paludarium really) which will house a few mini orchids among other plants. Not sure about misting.

With plants that prefer high humidity, and given correct temperatures and air circulation, water in the crown is not a problem in terraria.

Air circulation and timing.

Don’t let the plants “go to bed” wet.

Enlightenment! Thanks guys.

Mt tank is actually on of those old Lizard Lounges (L4"' X W18" X H 18") with 4 2.5" vents 2/3rds down. The 2 on the back are closed and not sure what to do with the 2 on the sides; for now I'll keep 1 open and see how that goes humidity & temp wise. I have a 3" computer fan that I plan to use. Considering that my height is only 18", I thought about mounting it outside, blowing into the vent. I could come-up with a way to mount it inside if that's a better idea. The water feature will have some kind of creature (not darts) but that is TBD.
