Whole house humidifiers

LadySoren, I have been tempted to try to grow orchids in my shower. We have a floor to ceiling glass block window in there. If I mounted one of those poles that people use to hold their shampoo etc....

I think 50% is good enough, I wouldn't want to cause mold issues inside my house...

then you would end up taking REALLY loonnngggg showers!! You'd check them out, check for blooms/spikes, new growth... Then you'd run out of hot water before you had a chance to rinse your hair out! -at least, that's what would happen to me!

Seriously tho, that would work as long as you have adequate light in there...

I did that in NY. HAHA what fun.

I agree with the other posts. I think you have enough humidity. When you increase humidity you also need to increase airflow, especially if you grow in pots. If the humidity is high and airflow is low the medium will become stagnant. Here in PR its pretty humid which allows me to grow a lot of plants mounted. There is always a breeeze and fresh air in the outdoors so air flow is not a problem.
