If you have your plants outdoors in the summer, you can get a battery powered controller (timer) to hook up a hose with a sprinkler.

I use this for all the plants outdoors. Cost is about $35 for a single hose controller, and $45 for a dual hose controller.

Though in Mississippi,most of my plants are always indoors, but come winter they won't be. The plan is to use the misting system for vacationing around Christmas and New Year. While it is often above 40 at that time of year, it varies widely and the weather reports can't accurately predict the weather two hours into the future, let alone a week.

The misting system might also be used during the winter to keep the humidity up.

Last year, I had to replace the timer control part. The roof leaked and it was inundated with water and died. My bad.
I heard about Mist King in the ads on this site.
