To mist or not to mist that's the question...
Comments (7)I use a shower type hose nozzle and give established plants a shower (well more than misting) at least once or twice a week. Generally in the evenings. I stand back and arc the shower on to the plants like a rain shower. I also use a sprayer up close which can push off dropped flowers, leaves, etc. that get caught on leaves. I was surprised how much water funnels down the branches and trunk into the pot. It is nearly impossible to over water with fast draining soil and high temperatures so I dont think twice about it....See MoreTo mist or not to mist?
Comments (2)I tend to shy away from misting. Too much humidity can lead to all sorts of problems including damp-off, mold, bacterial diseases, etc. It plus heat is perfect breeding ground for things you don't want on your seedlings. ;) But then I grow in a greenhouse where the humidity is much higher than it would be in the house so I suppose that if your air is especially dry or you are having problems keep the potting mix properly moist, it might be of some help. Just don't overdue it would be my recommendation - the hazards of too much outweigh any benefits. As to strengthening the stems - that's what the fan is for. ;) Dave...See MoreShow me your Honed Jet Mist or Virgina Mist Granite- Please :-)
