I can’t use one because of a medical condition and the worry of mold build up. I heard misting is ineffective and can cause more harm than good. Any advice? ## 16개의 댓글 ### Vera님이 2024-04-01에 댓글을 남겼어요. You can try grouping plants with similar lighting needs together to create a more humid, micro climate. #### Cowro님이 2024-04-01에 답변했습니다. Most of my plants are quite small except for my bamboo and fish bone cactus (which still isn’t that big) I’m not sure it would make much difference unless i had huge full plants #### Vera님이 2024-04-01에 답변했습니다. Gotcha. You can also try using like a plastic mason jar or plastic cup to create a humidity dome if they are small. #### Cowro님이 2024-04-01에 답변했습니다. Okay I can try that I’m just scared of crown rot #### Vera님이 2024-04-01에 답변했습니다. These are some Alocasia corms I’m working to “hatch” so obviously they require extremely high humidity, humidity, but you could do some thing like this and poke some holes in the plastic wrap or give a little bit of a gap under the dome for them to breathe. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/DCO5F1l6FymQCsCqkOA4rvwWtaBlQGNvWcuSDUIlf7Q/j4ENCt6tTWyllQNWy-exsg.webp?size=large) ### Tantalizea님이 2024-04-01에 댓글을 남겼어요. A closed environment / cabinet. Just make sure there’s air circulation in there. #### Cowro님이 2024-04-01에 답변했습니다. Would putting something over the plants work? Plastic cover? #### GreenLeaf님이 2024-04-01에 답변했습니다. Yes, just make sure to take it off every couple days for an hour or so to allow for air circulation. Personally I use ziplock bags 🤷🏼‍♀️ but jars/containers work well too. Just as long as the light can get through. #### Sunny님이 2024-04-01에 답변했습니다. Plastic cover works as long as it doesn’t block light. \- Try a terrarium or DIY an old fish tank or reptile tank into a terrarium. \- Garden bell jars, cloches, can be used. Plastic ones called mini greenhouses come in several sizes. \- You can repurpose pantry storage containers. The larger square ones are over 5 liters and can be used as a small terrarium or flipped upside down as a bell jar. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/wefqOljjhEOiS9LRzOB1-QhxkVJiB4A5DGumXhnNrhs/JVqjCQqhTL-Sr4kUKpCFxw.webp?size=large) #### Sunny님이 2024-04-01에 답변했습니다. Plastic bell jars sold in sets are more affordable than the glass version. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/wefqOljjhEOiS9LRzOB1-QhxkVJiB4A5DGumXhnNrhs/RRNwPVvNSo-ioOi51ZxAFg.webp?size=large) #### Cowro님이 2024-04-02에 답변했습니다. I’ll keep an eye out for those! If in bright sun those might enhance the light right? Windows do so I’d assume those can. ### Sarah님이 2024-04-01에 댓글을 남겼어요. Pebble tray, grouping plants together to help create their own humidity #### Cowro님이 2024-04-02에 답변했습니다. I heard that pebble trays ineffective due to it not actually making the air humid and causing root rot #### Sarah님이 2024-04-03에 답변했습니다. How is a pebble tray supposed to cause root rot? It goes next to the plant, not on the bottom of the pot. 🤔 ### Plant Father님이 2024-04-01에 댓글을 남겼어요. a humidity chamber or greenhouse of some sort will be your best option. if your plants are small an old fish tank or similar object will likely work well. there are also small glass greenhouses like the ikea akerbar for sale. it’s about $25 usd for the larger 24” one. make sure you open the chamber for at least a few minutes each day for airflow #### Cowro님이 2024-04-02에 답변했습니다. Thanks I got more replies than I expected.
