Default automatic watering system... would like some suggestions

Be careful with automatic watering, it can be a sure way to kill your
plants.

Typical scenario:

It's cold and damp for days - they get watered.
It's hot and dry - nope.

Hi everyone:

I have been thinking of installing an automatic watering system for my
orchids, and have thought of installing a misting/watering system
which will remain on for 10 -15 minutes every other day or so,
completely drenching the plants.
Any suggestions on how i should proceed to install a hobbiest, cost
effective system on a part of the greenhouse containing the orchids.

Also i would appreciate any other suggestions on different types of
watering systems that may be available apart from what i have in mind
right now..

thanks again
