By giving the plant regular feedings you can avoid deficiencies (the plant will take what nutrients it needs).

As the plant is a hemiepiphyte, it is used to getting some of it's nutrition in run-off (tea) from other plants. You can replace this with foliar feedings.
Use one teaspoon per gallon of water of your Miracle-Grow, and mist your plant with it.

Misting the plant should not cause any problems if it is well ventilated. The plant does extremely well here in rainforests that get more than 100 inches of rain per year and it is used to being wet all the time.

The only time I have seen plants that get the leaf burn like yours, is when they are grown indoors and don't get enough nutrition.

Good luck with your plant!
