The misting is not directly on them...it's more of a carryover from the plants around them and I don't take my finger off the trigger while passing to the next section.

I have all mine outside. What do you do about rain? Should I put them under a shelter to keep them dry?

This is a really old thread and cb977 doesn't visit the board anymore. I can't be sure where she kept her dens but I know she had a covered lanai so rain may not have been a problem.
