Quick question! Does anyone else mist and use a fan on their plants? I noticed since using a fan the stems look stronger

I don’t personally do this because misting doesn’t retain humidity even when using a fan , but it could be possible the plant enjoys the fan.

Not the misting with rare stuck leaf exceptions, but i do put an osilating fan on low and alternate the direction and plant groups it faces. This mimics wind and helps with stronger stem development in some plant varieties

I’m going to start using fans bc there is very little air circulation in my house and the soil stays damp way too long. But I believe it could make stems stronger by mimicking wind

I mist my epiphytes and I use two small fans 😊
