I do spray with a fine mist inside on the chrysalis once a week if they don't emerge after two weeks. But never spray the cats, they get plenty moisture from the plants. The floral foam as it is used day after day and more holes are made, gets dry. I just put the nozzle to a hole and rehydrate it. One usually last all the way to chrysalis, then I tear out the foam wash it and off we go again.

Note: I no longer use sticks, they made the cup tip over sometime.
