Default Watering equitants

I have one of these in a small plastic basket high in a warm fairly humid
greenhouse. I don't think I've watered it this year yet as they seem happy
with only an occasional water. I agree that increasing your humidity is a
good idea and wouldn't recommend watering twice a day, cheers, David

I would like to grow Equitants, (Tolumnias) under flouresdent lights, and
was
wondering about the watering. My humidity is low, maybe 30% range, and
temps
are around 75 with the lights on. I have read that you water these plants
early in the day, so the roots have time to dry out before evening, or else
you
risk the threat of rot. It just seems to me that with my low humidity, the
plants would probably lose more water during the day than they absorbed
during
the morning watering. Would watering twice a day compensate for that, or
not?
Any ideas?
