Nep Flower Pollen Misting Question

Major NOOB Question / Please Bare With / LOL

Ok basically I spray/hose my whole greenhouse drown to keep the humidity up

I have a few Neps that are starting to open flowers / M & F

Will spraying them knock the "Stuff" off the flower thingies???
ie pollen & whatever to females have / LOL

Should I cover them before hosing them down???

Help!!!

Would really like to cross pollinate my female
&
I can't find any info. on what I'm trying to figure out

Thanx

I would avoid misting the flower stalks, as it can wash pollen off. Covering them with plastic bags while you spray should fix that issue

Kind of figured that with the pollen on the male flowers but wasn't sure with the female
Maybe that's why I didn't have any luck last year
I washed all the baby batter off / LOL
