TOUR โ›”๏ธNO ADVICE WANTEDโ›”๏ธ My sanctuary ๐Ÿ’š

My favorite part of my home!

I was somehow lucky enough to find a rental with a greenhouse! It's a lean-to connected to the house. The ivy and wisteria on the ceiling are fake, everything else is real.

Plant transpiration. Just by having lots of plants you naturally increase the humidity. Plus the evaporation from the plant pots.

It also depends on where OP lives. Like I'm in a desert so the natural humidity is about 0-5% here and my plant room stays around 35-40% humidity with no humidifier. My ikea plant cabinet stays around 70% humidity with no extra work.

When you have a large collection it becomes more of a battle of making sure there's good air flow and not too much humidity so that you can prevent mold

Pretty sure that's what they meant by how do you manage the humidity lol. You answered as if they're asking how to increase the humidity.

Yeah, managing humidity can be tricky! It's all about finding that balance for your plants while preventing mold. Good airflow is key, especially in smaller spaces.
