I have a great friend helping me but work is busy so it’s been difficult to plan plant nights! \- I have 2 grow lights and mist serval times daily (a humidifier is coming). \- A few babies have a bright yellow leaf and a drooping leaf or some dropping stems. \- None have soil thats wet (squeeze and nothing, finger in and not wet), some I would consider moist, several are dry. \- ALL plants have drainage and I make sure none sit in water \- Concern = overwatering (Overwatering with dry soil—I could be overwatering WHEN I water \[a gallon per plant versus a cup\], not the frequency in which I am watering). Thanks in advance 🫶🏻 ![4개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/0AmiYiZpIApMbDLKK-hM_KBoDGgNIapM5WeOTJ55oOc/FpDzUvOVScKFC4kA8hD_GA.webp?size=large) ![4개 중 2번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/0AmiYiZpIApMbDLKK-hM_KBoDGgNIapM5WeOTJ55oOc/meyPchI3RkiydFRkzvPs7Q.webp?size=large) ![4개 중 3번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/0AmiYiZpIApMbDLKK-hM_KBoDGgNIapM5WeOTJ55oOc/EKw6n39WTACagISkywq09w.webp?size=large) ![4개 중 4번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/0AmiYiZpIApMbDLKK-hM_KBoDGgNIapM5WeOTJ55oOc/uxV8z-6nSsGeS-0ir-tUqA.webp?size=large) ## 9개의 댓글 ### Holly님이 2024-10-23에 댓글을 남겼어요. Misting several times a DAY? I think that might be unnecessary! Anyways, I think that as long as you empty anything that has drained after you water them, as you said, you should be fine! :) I usually water until they start dripping from the drainage holes. ### GnomeChompski님이 2024-10-23에 댓글을 남겼어요. Overwaterimg is only a concern if there's not proper drainage. If the soil doesn't have big enough particles to make it airy and move water through it fast enough. You'll notice this if you add water until it drains out the bottom and leave it sitting for a week and it's still soggy. It shouldn't matter if you're using a gallon or ten gallons, so long as air is still circulating through the soil. (If you are using ten gallons though, you'll rinse minerals out of the soil. Which isn't as much of a concern if you're on a regular fertilizing schedule.) #### GnomeChompski님이 2024-10-23에 답변했습니다. And since it's impossible for me to edit my comment on my phone: get one of those thermometer/hygrometer combos to tell what the ambient temp and humidity is around your plants. You really shouldn't be needing to most very often if they're kept inside with a humidifier. If you want to be really fancy, a company called switchbot sells a thermo/hygrometer and you can use the app to trigger a smartswitch to turn on/off your humidifier when certain thresholds are met. I believe you need their bridge to run it that way, so kind of expensive, but automation is great. #### Lynda님이 2024-10-23에 답변했습니다. You seem to be a good person to ask, but should household humidifiers that are used for plants, supposed to remain at 60% humidity or lower? It seems to me that somewhere I’ve heard that. Comments? TIA. 🤗💚🪴 ### GnomeChompski님이 2024-10-23에 댓글을 남겼어요. Lynda, I usually keep mine between 55 and 60%. Sometimes it drops a bit lower, but my plants don't seem to mind. The issue that occurs with constant high humidity within the home is mold. So set your % to the bare minimum to keep your plants happy #### Holly님이 2024-10-23에 답변했습니다. I’ve heard 50 is the max if you want to avoid mold, and I live in a half basement, so I set mine to 45 :/ sometimes it even feels too dry on my skin though! So I let it go a bit 🤫 #### Holly님이 2024-10-23에 답변했습니다. My plants are okay though! I occasionally mist the more temperamental ones. ### Phil님이 2024-10-23에 댓글을 남겼어요. And just to be sure that you know, when they talk about mold, they are referring to mold in your house as well as your plants. You need to avoid both. ### PVerde💚님이 2024-10-24에 댓글을 남겼어요. Maybe only mist them when the plants app suggests? --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
