I just give my plants a nice hose down once in a while..with our sizzling hot temps, the plant dries up very fast. I do it early part of the day, while the plant is still in some shade, so there is no mirror effect that will burn the leaves as it dries out. Both of us are in Cali, and you are in SoCal, honestly, not a big problem at all to dry up..always dry, dry temps and very low humidity..
