Setup Guidelines
- ✓Aim misting nozzles at the top of the enclosure to allow water to drip down through the foliage
- ✓Mist 2–3 times daily for 2–3 minutes — more in dry climates or during hot weather
- ✓Use filtered or RO water if possible to prevent mineral buildup in nozzles
- ✓Ensure adequate drainage below the enclosure — standing water breeds bacteria
- ✓Allow the enclosure to dry between misting cycles — stagnant moisture causes respiratory issues
- ✓Clean nozzles monthly to prevent clogging
