Greenhouse Propagation Mist System

- Here's the misting system I use in my greenhouse for plant propagation. It consists of brass Phyto-Mist or Flora-Mist nozzles controlled by a Mist-O-Matic electric leaf. The stainless steel mesh (leaf) imitates the weight of water droplets that would sit on the plants/cuttings and activates the system based on water evaporation. As the electric leaf dries, it lifts up to tilt a mercury switch, then lowers with the weight of the water from the mist system and turns off. The mist comes on as much, or as little as needed depending on how humid, or hot and dry the greenhouse environment is. The other plastic nozzles I believe are Dramm Pin-Perfect and Dramm Misty Mist nozzles.

They are very popular here in Florida.👍
Good little misters for humidification and evaporative cooling. Thanks John!
That looks nice and efficient.
It sure is, thanks!
Thanks for sharing, very nice!👍✨
Thank you! 😊
I knew something went on inside the greenhouses - but I had no idea! Like John says below, they are popular in Florida... I find them to be very interesting... another LIKE for your video!
This works well for automatic watering, I also have to do a lot of manual watering by hose with a 3 ft wand and water breaker head attached.
Reminds me of the sprays used on the fresh produce section at the store. Very gentle very fine mist sprayed on the lettuce, etc. works good!
Yes that's true, very similar to the sprayers in the produce section.
Fascinating. I love the control system!
Thank you!
Very nice misting system!
Thank you!
Very nice!
I saw a system like this in Hal Wellmiers rhododendron nursery, he took over from his parents, Clem and Trudy.
Unfortunately those plants fell prey to 2 larger nurseries doing tissue culture.
Those two are also gone now, it is a shame.
Thank you! That's too bad those nurseries are gone.
That's original. If I wasn't so lazy, there would already be a little movie about the Tegtmeier nozzle. It works exactly like the one you showed.
A certain Tegtmeier claims to have developed it in Hanover in 1948. He applied for a patent for the nozzle in Germany. It was frequently mentioned in German irrigation literature in the 1950s and 1960s and praised for its fine spray mist. For me, it's always interesting to ask: Which manufacturer was inspired by whom?
That will be great to see the Tegtmeier nozzle in operation. It seems a few manufacturers were producing these.
Would you say you get 360 degrees of mist around those mist nozzles? I've got a very small mist system I'm trialing and can't seem to get 360 coverage, just trying to figure out where I'm going wrong
Yes these get 360 degree coverage, sometimes they can get some uneven coverage from deposits or algae and need to be cleaned. I'm not sure why yours are not achieving a full circle, I wonder if there's imperfections in the pin head surface and doesn't disperse the mist evenly.
