My cat palm is really suffering this winter. What can I do to help? I am struggling with humidity even with a humidifier. Right now the room is at 30%. Which is so low. But it’s so cold in St. Louis with all the snow.

I’ve alway heard grouping plants together helps to 1. Keep them warm and 2. Help with some humidity. I just don’t know how much it helps

### Auxsman commented on 2026-01-26

I do indeed group the plants, as well as have little fans in each room \& I have 2 tall humidifiers just for the living room with the wood stove (as I live in CT)

I do keep the ceiling fans on cause I am always hot lol . I’ll move the fernster over by his buddy Mr. Paradise and his paparazzi.

Sorry the grow lights started turning off lol they’re on a timer

A good $80 or more large room humiditfier running on high (all winter) should do it for you \& keep it ~ 2’ near them, but I love your setup!

#### PlantNewbSTL replied on 2026-01-27

I’ve been looking at a bigger humidifier as I have 2 rooms im trying to humidify. lol

### Auxsman commented on 2026-01-26

Also if you have plants that can go on moss poles do it! It not only benefits the plants but it adds moisture in the air as well!

#### PlantNewbSTL replied on 2026-01-27

I have moss and stuff to make moss poles with, I just haven’t jumped into yet lol

Putting them on a pebble tray with water has helped several of mine.
