What I was about to say is similar to what Ozpaph said above.
I usually water during the day, preferably mornings, but I also water at night.
I don't think it matters, really.
During the hot months, the rain usually falls in the early afternoon and then clears up.
It can also go one for days and night.
Rain doesn't really have schedules.
Also, early morning dews drench plants on a daily basis in general.
So...I would say "water at night is no no" is one of those unbased rumors that float around in the hobby.
"Don't wet the leaves or you'll get disease spots" is another common one.
I wet the leaves on many plants and almost everything is fine.
Certain Oncidiums and Dendrobiums I had in the past, never got wet but they were the only ones that got disease spots.
Probably didn't get cleaned by water enough. lol
