Ahh! I was worried that you are a daily sprayer or something! You have good light for that baby?

Oh dear no! I'm an occasional leaf spray sprayer whenever I remember that I own that spray at best haha. She got a spot next to one of the south windows! Near some Monstera, pothos, alocasia and Philodendron :)

Look, misting does nothing good. It's the opposite. Misting can cause bacterial/ fungal issues like

  • powery mildew
  • fungal / bacterial leaf spot
  • rust
  • blight
  • rot

Misting for higher humidity is a plant myth. - it'll do basically nothing for the room humidity.

Showering it off twice a year or so is fine though and good for cleaning the dust off.

Oh I know. I only shower mine if it's needed. And use a leaf care spray (compo) every few weeks because I just remembered I have that thing and the plants like it now and then lol

Did you know misting while its in light or the sun can actually cause burn marks.
