40% will probably be at the lower end of the scale, the humidity ,will
obviously rise at night.I grow in a loft on a largish tray with clay
pebbles
for humidity,at the end of the day when the heating has been on humidity
falls to around 40/45% rising upto around 60% sometimes higher.I spray
every
morning with a fine mist,which instantly raises the humidity & by the end
of
the day the plants have dried off for the night .This is obviously harder
to
do when you grow on a windowsill or similar.Humidity is hard to maintain
were ever you grow,once you know how low & high humidity gets in your
situation you tend to stop worrying about it & get on with your routine.
Happy New Year to Everyone:-)

Again, didn't know I was dealing with people who couldn't grow outside
and
that the question was targetted at only those people.

It is still less than ideal......

Are you saying that those that own a greenhouse are more than mere
mortals?
I paid hardly anything for mine, but then again my climate allows for
it.

Getting the air above winter-dry and making the orchid less
uncomfortable.

40% is below the ideal in any sense of the word.


Ideal, yes, "achievable by mere mortals who don't own a greenhouse",
no.

Humidity trays don't work in my opinion either.


This is flatly untrue. One can reach %40 humidity given
humidity trays and some pebbles (which help with the surface
area that exposes the water).
