Default With adequate air movement, can humidity be too high?

Can humidity be so high that it negatively affects the plant, as long as your air movement remains breezy and cool?

I am trying to grow pleurothallids in a fridge as companion plants to cold growing carnivorous plants. I adopted pure Kanuma for some of the CP's but they aredrying out a little faster than I'd like so I am bumping the humidity controller to 95% from 90.%. That way I can still keep watering thoroughly once daily in the AM.

As long as air movement is good (mine is really nice and pleasantly breez and cooly from bottom blowing upward) does it matter if humidity is as high as 95? Visually it seems like there is almost always some amount of fog from the humidifier output being blown around, so I am, just confirmed ing that this isnt an issue. How cloudy are cloud forests, anyway?

Unless you get condensation on the plants, I doubt it’s an issue.

If we were taking typical greenhouse crops, I’d say that is could be a significant problem, as high humidity reduces the transpiration rate, so can slow growth.
