I grow seedlings in my garage using a grow light and a
Saranwrap tent over
the trays. For humidification, I use a $35 cold air ultrasonic
mister from
Walmart that has a 2 gallon reservoir. A simple plastic dryer
duct connects
the mister to the tent. I put the mister on an interval timer
(10 minutes
on, 30 off) and add water to the reservoir every 2 or 3 days.
My coast live
oak acorns were planted on 1 January and now the seedlings are
about 6
inches tall and enjoying the sunshine and fresh air on my front
porch. When
I get a larger place, I'll set up a greenhouse with one of
those continuous
misting systems that are supposed to work so well for
propagating seedlings
and cuttings.


Goodness! Another reason to stay away from "indoor" trees.
They're a lot of work! ;-)
