Humidity trays
Thinking that I should get some humidity trays. I found some cheap ones that I can order at Target or Walmart and they come with pebbles but I prefer the trays that have the grid on top.
I need something small that will fit on the shelves of a rolling cart and found this one: Humidi-Grow
Just seems a bit pricey to me. I've compared the price and due to the free shipping Amazon's price seems to be the cheapest.
Is this worth the $$? Are there any others with grids @ this size that are less money?

In my experience, humidity trays are not a solution for a lack of humidity, but my HR is too low.

I don't really think they help much. They are handy to catch excess water though.

And that is the going rate for humidity trays.

Get boot trays, and put some grid into it... the kind they sell for florescent light panels. Doesn't really help RH, but as Dolly says... sure good at catching drips.

Have used this tray for yrs as they last 4ever but must say no increase in r/h. During winter tho I'm a big believer in humidifiers.

This may be the first time in the history of gardening six people in a row agree humidity trays don't raise humidity.

Make that 7 ... When humidity is low, everything dries out faster, so more frequent watering is the solution. If there are aerial roots, a good bath from a spay bottle can keep them from getting dehyrated

For under $40.00 you can buy a pretty decent humidifier. How many tests would that buy?
