do i need to mist?

[dragonflylady]

i bought an orchid from orchidfinders, they are a vanda and a cattleya, do i need to mist the roots and the leaves or just the roots. or do i need to mist at all?

The Cattleya will probably be OK with no misting, but the Vanda will be a problem. Vandas need high humidity. Misting the roots often may work as a substitute, and maybe not, but it is worth a try if you already have the plant. Cynthia, Prescott, AZ
