Getting the flowers wet can shorten their lives. Among other things, it
seems to attract botrytis, a fungus which marks up the flowers with little
black spots. The problem is worse in an enclosed area than in an open airy
one.

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?
