Hello all. I got a good deal on one of those fore shelf indoor greenhouses($16). I was having a problem with low humidity. It would get to 20% or so at best. Now in the greenhouse it's getting up to 90% but more like 85% for the most part. At what point should I start worrying about it being to high. I have some sundews, vary yung flytrap, N. Ventrata and a Philinopsis in there. Any tips would be great.

Sundews should be out of humidity, maybe baby flytraps are ok to be in there and definitely the ventrata and philinopsis should go in there asap


Happy Growing,

Dillon

As long as the air doesn't get stagnant I don't think high humidity should be a problem. For sundews in particular, it sort of depends on species. You might get weak growth on something like D. binata, but there's also species (e.g. Queensland sisters) that could be fine even at 100%.

I just picked up a little desk fan. It looks like a mini round floor fan. Its about fore inch or so. I ziptied it to the top corner and pointed it down at an angle. Do you think that will work or should I bring it down closer to my grow shelf?
