New "and Imporoved" Propagation Tent...

Finally got to make a new propagation tent for the research house. This one has new features including steel pipe roof girders, adjustable outer shade cloth, it is tall enough that so that 36 inch totem poles fit easily, the side walls are easily raised in one piece and best of all it has BOTTOM HEAT. Bottom heat is one of the best horticultural tools for propagtion - period. Below is the inside of the new empty tent.
So now the minimum soil temp is 75 - 77 degrees. This is critical when you are propagting pothos and other tropical aroid in the winter. Below is an interan view of the tent filled. Pretty exciting huh.

Here (below) is an exterior view of the tent with some goodies inside. They are doing very very well and it appears that additional watering will be minimal.
