Hello,
I saw this interesting article about plant acclimation from Curious Plant: https://curiousplant.com/carnivorous-plant-acclimation/
It got me thinking: would using the plastic bag trick to up humidity be useful for other types of plant stress? A few example I thought of

It got me thinking: would using the plastic bag trick to up humidity be useful for other types of plant stress? A few example I thought of
- The easiest example I can think of would be repotting
- An example of when not to do this would probably be if you've sprayed your plants with a fungicide to get rid of any mold or fungus
- Maybe another example would be after top watering a plant with some mosquito bites water to get rid of fungus gnat larvae and you want to prevent fungus gnats from laying more eggs while the larvae die
- Maybe you had to flush a plants medium with some clean water and after it's dried up some (going back to a normal wetness the plant likes) from being soaking wet you use humidity to help get it back to normal
- Lastly maybe if your sundews are being pouty and not producing as much dew for some reason
