hmm..... i suppose when it rains in the wild.. the rain just magically avoids the leaves and buds?
i think if water was THAT harmful to the plant, it'd grow in the desert... it doesn't.


misting your plant CAN cause mold and CAN cause water burns in the leaves... but NOT if you do it right. Spraying your leaves... like i said before can be very good for the plant...as long as the water is dried relatively quickly, with proper ventalation you'll have no problems.
it takes time for mold to grow, which means the plant would have to be wet over an extended period of time..

Simple way of putting this, you can mist your plants...just don't leave them wet, and don't have anything touching the plant when it's wet... your plant will love it. mine does...
