Greenhouse Propagation Mist System
Ғылым және технология
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.

Good little misters for humidification and evaporative cooling. Thanks John!
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.
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.
