I am aware that native tolumnias occasionally get a sea mist treatment, but
I believe that they have evolved some sort of mechanism to defend themselves
from the ionic imbalance the Na+ and Cl- might cause, if absorbed.

If I remember correctly, there was an old AOS article precisely about that.

Well then, I suspect someone has been misting my plants with sea water
without my knowledge. I assume it's only with the best of intentions,
though.
