Actually, while some plants may gain some benefit from foliar feeding, it is
wise to only the root system, as watering the leaves provides a way to give
bacterial and fungi a damp home for crown rot, if pockets of water remain
for extended periods.

Is it true that you should water the leafs, stem, roots, but not the
flowers of orchid plants, because watering the flowers will shorten
the life span of the flowers?
