So how is your fogger set up? If your greenhouse get below a certain humidity does it turn on? Also a random quesion. I remember you said you had a 18" mangosteen from Ong's nursery. Did they ship to you? Its a pity it died.

Plummy, the fogger is controlled by my Bartlett Instruments greenhouse controller with a humidistat. When the humidity drops below a certain percent, then it kicks on.

As for the mangosteen...yes, I got it from Ong's and it was approximately 18". He shipped that to me with soil. I was pretty mad that I lost it. My fault but I don't believe the plant ever really had a chance. Someone had clipped all but the top two sets of leaves and even the middle stem. This left basically a stick with a couple of leaves. If you check the other posts and look at the photos of Eggo's mangosteens, THAT's what it should have been looking like. I'm getting another shipped from Frankies this week. Probably about the same size...hopefully with more branches and leaves! Expensive tree and very expensive to ship. So when someone tells you PineIsland's shipping costs are high?? Tell them to ship something from Hawaii!!!

That fogger seems to work wonders. What type is it? I may have to look into getting somthing similar for my greenhouse.

Thats very disapointing how the mangosteen was cut back. Govardan Gardens in Puerto Rico has 18" seedlings for sale. The reason I have never bought plants from eigther places is the shipping cost. Hope your new tree arrives well.

whoa nice setup, it looks great.

Plummy, Here's a link to where I got the fogging system. It's the model 400 on the page. http://www.mistcooling.com/mistingpump.htm I ran a line from the pump across the front of the greenhouse with three lines split off from that going up the ribs towards the house. There are three nozzles on each line. I have the .012 nozzles and I believe I'm going to end up getting the .008 size to make even smaller droplets. Probably wait until next spring for that. If you have any more questions concerning the fogger, let me know.

I've ordered lots of things from Puerto Rico, Montoso Gardens specifically, and the shipping was not bad at all. Actually I believe it no more than shipping from Florida for me. Hawaii is waaaayyy more expensive! They are expensive but the last two plants I received from Frankies were pretty nice. We'll see. We're in quite a cold snap here right now. 30* at night and 40's during day. 20* below normal for us right now. Really sucks.

I have ordered from Montoso Gardens and Govardan Gardens. Both were great. I think Frankies has a really good grafted variety selection. Maybe this spring I'll order from him. Thats cold! Its only getting 40-46 here. Hope your greenhouse heater works well. :)

Right now I have one of those ventless NG heaters 30000 btu. So far it is doing a great job keeping the temps right about where I want them. Course...while it may get that cold at night...we have not had "sustained" cold yet. I'm going to purchase another 30000 btu heater and set it up on the opposite side of the greenhouse I believe with the circulation fans and ceiling fan going, things should be fine. Hell of a lot cheaper than the methods I've been looking into. Crazy.
