WATER FOR GREENHOUSE PLANTS 237
Damping Down
The term is used chiefly in reference to the management of a vinery. Here it is usual during the early stages of growth to sprinkle water on every available surface in order that there may be plenty of moisture in the house. This is usually done in the morning, at midday and at the time of closing the house in the afternoon. A can supplied with a sprinkler should be used, and all the floor, the pathways, the stagings, and practically every exposed surface should be damped over. Then the moisture will be more evenly spread over the whole house. Damping down should not be done on dull days, when the pathways are already seen to be sufficiently moist or when there is known to be plenty of moisture in the atmosphere. Nor should this damping be done more than once a day while the vines are in flower or when they are ripening.
