This may sound like a dumb question but I’m going to ask it anyway…. I need to increase the humidity level in my plant room. If I start running a humidifier will that cause mold to grow?

In my experience it’s all about airflow. So keeping a humidifier on one side of the room and then a fan on the other, I feel like it keeps everything moving around. Also light. Light and airflow is typically how to avoid mold.

Thank you so much! This makes so much more sense to me now!
