I water my paphs/phrags once a week, but it takes me literally all morning to water my small collection of plants. There has to be a better way. I'm wondering if you guys could shed light on the watering methods and tools you use to water your plants.
Here is what I use:
Super fine mister: Mostly used on basket orchids and tillandsias and for paphs only on those super dry winter days.

1L sprayer: Great and fast BUT water splashes everywhere.![Frowning face :frowning2: ☹️](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/2639.png)

These are what I use the most. The steady, controlled stream of liquid is perfect so I don't end up getting water in the crown, but it takes forever to water each plant thoroughly.![Frowning face :frowning2: ☹️](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/2639.png)

It takes me a couple hours to water every week. Reducing watering to an hour max would be ideal. I am extra extra careful not to get water on the leaves or crown so I don't get weird brown leaf spots or crown rot. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
