I know the app’s premium would tell me and I’m planning on getting it soon but thought it would be good to also ask actual people I’ve been giving them all a little spritz every day this past week as the temp where I live has been around 33-34°C (91.4-93.2°F) TIA!:) ## 10개의 댓글 ### Sunny님이 2025-10-12에 댓글을 남겼어요. There are different schools of thought for and against misting. Some say the water droplets from the handheld spray bottles are too big. They cause other problems like promoting fungal growth because the droplets take too long to dry out. The droplets block the transpiration of water from the leaves leading to edema. The water droplets are too big to be efficiently absorbed by the plants. The water droplets can cause leaf scorching/sunburn in full sun. A humidifier provides a fine mist easily absorbed by plants. I don’t mist since my area is subtropical with high humidity levels. I would add a humidifier in dry areas to get consistent humidity levels. #### Charli 🌷🌱님이 2025-10-12에 답변했습니다. Hm interesting, I live in Australia and we are approaching summer so it’s very hot and humid constantly, would you recommend just sticking to regular watering, no misting? #### Sunny님이 2025-10-12에 답변했습니다. You don’t need to mist or use a humidifier if you’re humidity levels are naturally high in summer. Check the humidity levels with a hygrometer. Most tropical plants like levels between 40% and 70%. 🪴🍀 ### Phil님이 2025-10-12에 댓글을 남겼어요. Most “experts” believe it does little good except give the plant owner a sense of caring for the plants. Get a humidistat to measure what your humidity level is. If you are running a/c all the time, your humidity will be low. I try to keep it around 50%. #### Charli 🌷🌱님이 2025-10-12에 답변했습니다. I might look into that- coming into summer I only use aircon if it gets to 40°C otherwise I just put on my ceiling fan I’m thinking of getting a grow light or something for the winter time when mostly for the super cold nights that get to 4°C ### Whit\_Y님이 2025-10-12에 댓글을 남겼어요. I recommend using a humidifier - it’s more effective than misting at actually raising the humidity. And group your plants together, they’ll create a bit of a microclimate together. #### Charli 🌷🌱님이 2025-10-12에 답변했습니다. I haven’t thought of grouping them together.. I’ll give it a go- thanks! ### MummaDeb님이 2025-10-12에 댓글을 남겼어요. I don't mist at all. In the winter when the heat is on and the air is dryer I use a humidifier. That's usually the best way to add moisture to the air. ### Ashley님이 2025-10-12에 댓글을 남겼어요. I stopped misting my plants years ago. Not necessary. Grouping plants together is more effective. #### Charli 🌷🌱님이 2025-10-13에 답변했습니다. Someone else suggested grouping my plants as well, I’ve put these three together on a shelf that gets some sun ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/91xMPFYiLOhV7-9qVuDmU4QYBWLD9e7PsjiHSBL4juA/cmWQyt7mRq-BnCNMGRTPSA.webp?size=large) --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
