For those who love nurturing their plants, misting is very satisfying. For that reason I don't often discourage it. However, the benefits are minimal. Contrary to popular belief. misting does not increase humidity by any significant degree. Pebbly trays and humidifiers do a much better job at that.
Misting can help remove dust and is a mild deterrent to spider mites, but otherwise it is a feel-good practice. In general, it is best not to mist plants that have fuzzy leaves. Likewise, if you use hard water, it will leav mineral deposits on the foliage.
