Mist Prop Controllers

Mist prop controllers are used to control mist propagation systems, and are used in professional horticulture to propagate seedlings and cuttings.

Mist propagation systems generally have three components. The solenoid valve turns the water supply on and off under the control of the mist-wean controller; the wet leaf itself is wired to the controller and is placed amongst the plants, monitoring the rate of evaporation and the mist propagation controller itself allows adjustment of the mist burst length and the minimum interval between mist bursts (allowing the plants to be weaned off the mist).

Mist propagation is a horticultural technique used to propagate plants, particularly woody and semi-hardwood cuttings. It involves creating a fine mist or fog around the cuttings, maintaining a high level of humidity and preventing excessive transpiration. This method encourages the successful rooting and growth of new plants. Mist propagation systems typically consist of misting nozzles or atomizers that disperse water droplets in the air, creating a microenvironment with optimal moisture levels. The increased humidity aids in preventing water stress, while the plant’s cuttings focus on developing roots. This controlled and efficient approach to propagation is widely employed in nurseries, greenhouses, and commercial plant production, contributing to the efficient and consistent reproduction of plants.
