I haven't figured out how to post video here, so just linking to a tweet https://twitter.com/Vidyut/status/961326422534082560
It is just a tray hung against a wall with good coverage by a misting nozzle (10sec on, 5 min off) + an ultrasonic fogger when I need one (cuttings/TC explants). Gets medium bright light in day. No direct sunlight (in this season) and mild breeze. I don't bag cuttings or TC plants at all, since I made this area. I just put them there. Works better in my climate. Plus I lack the patience for good acclimatization out of bags. Area isn't big, so with plants that came in today, it is a bit crowded. Round pots in front are truncatas out of TC. pots along the wall are ventrata basals being rooted. On the other side of the fogger are rafflesiana, bicalcarata, densiflora x robcantleyi, maxima x vogelli, sanguinea and ventricosa (in order of my memory - I can't recall the sequence I kept them in)
This is how the set up is looking right now.
Once the TC plants are doing for a few days I will turn off the fogger more and more. Then when a candidate needing coddling comes up, they'll get kicked out into the main growing area (just above/below/wherever other than this one tray). They'll still get misting, but will be less sheltered. More breeze, no fogger, etc. The whole thing is sort of outdoorish. Balcony/ledge outside bedroom window.
No particular reason to post this now, other than I made the video, so why not.
