Default Re: Blessed by a dry area NOT!!

cjloong
sorry i just saw your reply.

anyways what i do is that i pot my plants in a plastic pot, and i was experimenting on how
to increase humidity i came across a site similar to what you have provided. So basically
what i did was.
1. Pot plant in plastic pot.
2. Get a clay pot that is bigger than the plastic pot and block the drain holes
3. Put the Plastic pot in the clay pot.
4. Either put sand in between spaces of the plastic pot and the clay pot or put the clay pot in water tray.

I usually do this for the intermediates and H/L as they can use the extra cooling that the
evaporative cooling of the clay pot provides. But like i said, this approach has become bulkier for me especially
now that i am running out of space. So now i just get some old rag and wet them and place the pots
on top of them.... seems to do the same effect in terms of humidity. I don't measure my humidity and
temps tho.

I have tried putting some small bucket of water under the bench where i grow my plants, but i only do
that during summer to bring the humidity up. Be doing this approach again this summer maybe i could try
some aquatics this time.

thanks
