A high level of humidity is a necessity for tropical plants and animals to prevent them from drying out and shriveling into dust. Lacking rainy clouds,
a vivarium needs to have the humidity raised artificially. Under here we show you the possibilities to achieve the right humidity.

 



 

Sprayed by hand

First, the plants sprayed by hand twice a day, every day. Our experience is that many people simply forget to spray or have no time. An alternative is to spray with a pump that has spraying heads attached inside the vivarium. You need a powerful pump to achieve a satisfactory mist however it is difficult to prevent the glass is being sprayed.
 

 

 

 



 

PVC piping system

Another system is to moisturize the back wall of the vivarium. If the back wall consists of Cocos Panels, it is possible to mount a spraying tube behind the panels.
Attached to a light pump, the back wall will keep moisturized by the dripping water. Plants receive water and the humidity will automatically increase. Vivaria supply all parts for this system; spraying tubes, taps for a waterfall and pumps with different pumping heights.

External humidifier

Combined with the above is an often-used system of ultra sonic misting: a machine produces minute water particles, blown through a tube into the vivarium and can raise the humidity. Fill the ultra sonic mister with pure water.
 

 

 

 



 

Basic Misting System

Owing to our mission of constant technical innovation, Vivaria has engineered a new misting system. We already use an ultrasonic humidifier system, but this system only enhances the humidity. We have developed a misting system that creates water droplets so fine that they look like mist.
A high-pressure pump (15 bar) and plastic nozzles remove the dust from your plants and make your animals believe that the rain season has begun.
The Basic Misting System is a flexible and extendable system, guaranteed copper free. You can turn the nozzles in every direction to be sure that your plants and not the glass is watered.
