I have a really hard time not misting my plants 1-2 times a day 😅 I am an over bearing plant mother and obsessively have to do things like repot, water, etc so misting is how I keep it at bay LOL Pic of my baby monsteras in their new thrifted dish for attention ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/BCFv2fNOZfkEegHleV3UFQ2Qu3M8YK-tr3KwM3SvWy0/z84q_stlT-mWA7zGa6TwVQ.webp?size=large) ## 22 comments ### PhiloFox commented on 2025-01-03 cute trellises! I think some plants to better with higher humidity and it's all about what that specific plant is used to. not saying you can turn a cactus into a mist-loving plant, but you get my drift I hope. and if you want them to have higher or lower humidity tolerance, slowly acclimate them. #### Plantgirly replied on 2025-01-03 I appreciate your response! So what I’m taking from that is as long as I’m not drowning low humidity plants and building up their tolerance slowly I can spray the crap out of them everyday to my hearts desire 🤣 thank you for the advice I’m still newish to the plant world🥰 #### Plantgirly replied on 2025-01-03 Obviously within reason ^ #### PhiloFox replied on 2025-01-03 pretty much! Just keep an eye out for mold. I'd like to say I'm no expert though! I'm experimenting with a few different enclosed plant terrariums myself because I overwater and helicopter plant mom asf #### Plantgirly replied on 2025-01-03 It’s hard to not be! I’d repot and water my plants everyday if I could🤣 ### Wolfen 🐺 commented on 2025-01-03 That's super cute! #### Plantgirly replied on 2025-01-03 Thank you 🥰 ### Wolfen 🐺 commented on 2025-01-03 But yes you can cause Edema, which is not fixable, or too much humidity can lead to fungus occasionally. Make sure you have good air circulation #### Plantgirly replied on 2025-01-03 Thank you!! So once a day for most tropical plants might be too much? Definitely don’t want to f anything upp. Planta recommends every 1-2 days for most my plants but I’m just so obsessive lol guess I should follow the guide I pay for LOL #### Wolfen 🐺 replied on 2025-01-03 I mist my tropicals 1x a day. It's gonna depend on your home humidity. Mines about 50%+ so I don't need more than 1x usually, when it's really hot and dry, I do 2x day. #### Plantgirly replied on 2025-01-03 lol I think my problem is is that I don’t have enough plants🤣 if I had more plants, I’d have more to do every day #### Wolfen 🐺 replied on 2025-01-03 Girrllll I got 200+ plants... you always find time to hover 😆 🤣 😂 #### Plantgirly replied on 2025-01-04 Lollll me constantly with my plants looking for new roots, leaves, and variegations ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/BCFv2fNOZfkEegHleV3UFQ2Qu3M8YK-tr3KwM3SvWy0/svwJOOszQ8O97iFESlZCag.webp?size=large) _4 more replies in the app_ ### Abbi commented on 2025-01-04 I mist my plants at least twice a day, cuz my humidifier can't seem to keep the humidity high enough for my alocasias. #### Wolfen 🐺 replied on 2025-01-04 Sometimes I feel like this is my plant version of those phone tracking kid apps 😆 🤣 😂 ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/LABcXOiTFudmBUCsau2S0dZnnxDdeMAvwSHhNs7sG2k/JPaz62jBSdSLJxAWkYmncQ.webp?size=large) #### Plantgirly replied on 2025-01-04 Oh my god brb buying these immediately 😏🤷🏻‍♀️ ### Lo commented on 2025-01-04 I’m LOLing so hard at this thread and showed my husband so he knows it’s not just me ### Wolfen 🐺 commented on 2025-01-04 Literally all the Govee products 😆 🤣 😂 i have more i just haven't set up. You can put alarms for temp or humidity drops or spikes. It's lovely --- _Source: the Planta community (https://getplanta.com). Reading is open to everyone.
