Hi! I recently got a purple passion plant and am wondering on how to increase humidity without a humidifier. Would having it in decorative pot with a little bit of water sitting in it help? 😅

    As long as the water couldn’t soak into the soil otherwise you’ll risk root rot. Your idea is on the right track anyway. The most common method is using a tray filled with pebbles, keeping the waterline below their tops and sitting the pot on top of the pebbles. The other ways to increase humidity are clustering plants close together or putting a clear plastic sandwich bag or cloche/bell jar on top

      The decorative pot is a few inches too deep for the nursery pot so I have a small rock holding it up from the bottom of the pot where the water is. The water isn’t actually touching the pot. Do you think that would be okay? I’m considering the pebble tray method, but I don’t have the things I need for that rn so I’m wondering if the decorative pot will work.

      It should work but the reason people go for trays instead of high sided pots is because having the whole nursery pot enclosed with a layer of water below will keep the soil damper for longer after watering (wont be able to evaporate well) which increases the chance of getting root rot so it will be fine for short term but if you go long term you’ll have to monitor the soil more and likely decrease your watering schedule

      Okay, thank you very much! I’ll probably do the pebble tray, then.

    looks like pretty fly has the info covered but I had to share this in case you didn’t know (I learned the hard way.) These flower and the flower STINK like feet. Like the worst gym socks. I had it at my desk at work 😂

      I saw things where people said they smelt 😆 That sounds gross, I didn’t think they smelled that bad! I’ll probably take the flowers off if it ever flowers 👍
