Misting doesn’t raise humidity and can cause fungal issues, and for me the risk isn’t worth it. A humidifier is the only way to raise humidity in any significant way. Also, the planta watering schedule always makes me water too often. For a calathea, I would water when the top 1-2 inches are dry. #### JenJen respondió el 2024-05-23 Thank you so much for replying I’m gonna add humidifier to my Amazon list Can I put the humidifier between the plants it’s on my bookcase Will be ordering a plant stand #### Riley respondió el 2024-05-23 I think it would be good where you’re planning on placing it #### JenJen respondió el 2024-05-23 I’ll be putting it on west window for the plant stand and humidifier on it as well #### Riley respondió el 2024-05-23 Sounds like a good spot! #### JenJen respondió el 2024-05-23 Glad to hear that My south window is big rectangle window been wanting to hang some plants thinking to do my golden pothos … thinking have to repot again because I think the pot is too small it 6 inches and have one drainage hole it’s ceramic pot Any ideas? _1 respuesta más en la app_ ### Chrissy comentó el 2024-05-23 Good luck! I have put mine in a shady area on the front porch that gets only morning sun and it’s doing better. I could not keep it looking good indoors without tons of humidity. #### JenJen respondió el 2024-05-23 I just put her out on front porch it’s shady and it’s 72 degrees outside ### Bay Area Plant Mom comentó el 2024-05-24 it’s good to put a bunch of plants together with a humidifier to create a warm and humid environment, however, make sure you’re treating for gnats as a preventative if you do so because they will come 😫🤣 #### JenJen respondió el 2024-05-24 Ahh yes would have to expect that How can I can do to prevent the gnats? Thank so much for replying back #### Bay Area Plant Mom respondió el 2024-05-24 Mosquito bits or systematic granules, or you can try a natural way with nematodes (just started using SF from natures good guys so don’t have much information yet but I will be ordering other ones for spider mites and thrips as well) plantsbymelissa on ig and YouTube has some info on both mosquito bits and predatory mites --- _La comunidad de Planta (https://getplanta.com).
