Hi Deb,

I have lots of fish tanks, so the humidity is pretty constant. Fanning will lower the humid conditions.

Mine runs 70-80% because it's an orchidarium with automatic misting system.

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)

I use an ultrasonic purifier humidifier running 16 hours a day at 190 ML per hour. I can maintain 60 % to 70 % RH for my phals.

i have an old humidifier and I added a ultrasonic fogger in it. (i think the fogger is on longer than the 8 hours recomended...I don't know when it will fail...)

Easiest way to increase humidty is with wet towels. I put them on a rack above my heating vents
