# Humidity question - is the humidifier I’m using for my tropical…

Humidity question - is the humidifier I’m using for my tropical plants too close to my cactus/succulents? I haven’t noticed any signs of stress but wanted to confirm they’re not receiving too much moisture. Thanks!

I think if they’re doing well and you haven’t noticed any issues you are probably okay! That looks like a solid distance from the cacti. With how close your cacti are to the window they probably get enough sun to counteract the moisture.

If you’re really worried they have humidity testers you can buy

If your opuntia go missing it definitely wasn’t me… absolutely beautiful. What zone do you live in?

Zone 5a in Minnesota. lol his name is Frank and he’s named after my old dog that recently passed. It’s by far one of my favorites
