Hi! Even if my orchids are with me for a year and a half already, (well, i bought them in bloom) until now they haven't bloom for me.
I have encountered on another thread about watering. My question is : is watering and misting the same? I often read like for dendrobium they want to be dried before watering again. So, I followed it but I noticed that spider mites tend to attack my plants. But if I mist the leaves, the medium tends to get wet again. So what is the right watering and misting?

If the medium would always be wet then my dendrobium will be leafless and keeps on producing babies.
Thank you in advance.
