Greetings, gardening enthusiasts,

Does anyone know the best way to reduce dampness due to houseplants?
We've had such a rotten summer in my part of the British Isles lately;
the humidity has been horrendous (frequently around 90% or more for
weeks now) and the wallpaper is starting to peel in places. It's been so
humid outside it's not been possible to air the place out like it would
normally. I can't recall it ever being this bad. I was told there are
some other houseplants that can act as effective natural dehumidifiers,
but I don't know if that's true or not. Anyway, short of hiring an
industrial dehumidifier, can anyone make a helpful suggestion, please!!

Thanks!

Depends on which is more important to you - the plants or the house.

Take the plants outside and keep them well watered there and in the
meantime ensure there is plenty of ventialtion to the inside of your
house.

You must have some strange plants if the humidity is so high.
