What’s an ideal humidity for ferns and palms?

Palms needs a good amount of humidity—around 70% is best! Ferns are fine with 50% humidity, but they do better with 70% as well!

Generally 60-75% for both. Some ferns especially will crisp even at 60%

I keep my ferns at 80-90% and they have almost doubled in size in a week since I’ve had them. You can always start high then slowly acclimate them down to 60% too. I will be doing this when they get bigger
