Thanks, Mike!

I have been gardening for a;most 40 years, so a lot of stuff is clear as saran Wrap to me. Now, if I have never done anything with a plant (as in the case of camelias), I like to seek as much advice as I can from those that know better.

Yes! The whole duct tape thing was extremely time consuming. Besides, all the sticks wanted to lean in towards the center, as the container is not all that deep. I was close to frustration....

I thought about the plastic bag, but decided it would negate the idea that the container needs drainage. However, it would make it easy to mist when needed. Just open the bag and squirt.
As it is now, misting will be impossible. The condensation should keep things pretty moist in there with all the heat and humidity we have. I may change the whole get-up yet. I did not have any totally clear plastic bags. Most of them are somewhat opaque. Don't know if that would matter at this stage.

You will be first om my list to get a rooted cutting! Promise!

Thanks again for all your "hand-holding"!
