RH hovering in the 40%s on hot days and 80 degrees with a fairly strong breeze.

I have my Twinkle in the bathroom window...every time I take a shower, I open the plastic curtain so that the spray will hit the twinkle and the other plants in the window...it seems to love the spray.
Of course, if you shower multiple times a day...this might be overdoing it
I've had it almost three years, and it's blooms at least three times a year. I was thinking I need to repot it soon, but haven't gotten around to it.

Another testimonial to showering with a friend.

As soon as the quarantine period it's over (it's isolated from other plants) I'll move it also to a bathroom window. We never use it to shower so I turn the shower with really hot water for 10 min. HR increases from low 20 to 70% (80 at night).
If I keep the door shut it gets bellow 60% after 3 days. The problem is the risk of fungus on the walls.

I think I must be doing something right...
And it has a new growth too.

That's a huge amount of blooms - it must smell great too.

Oh he looks good. I love mine, wish I had the red or yellow. Mine is going to spring forth soon in all it's glory. Then I am going to have to re-pot. These really are tough plants I never water mine enough. Like Dollythehun say's I have been leaving some of mine with water in the saucer. I need to be doing it with this one.

When is getting full sun the smell spreads by the vicinity of the plant. The smell makes me remember cough syrup.
I water it when I feel the top medium dry.
