Thank you both. I took them out this evening and sprayed real thorough with
water from hose three times. Will spray them every day it's warm enough. I
sprayed seedlings with hand sprayer and clean water. The greenhouse air is
dry.Humidity will not stay in there.


Sometimes humidity is very low here where I live and what I do is line
the entire greenhouse (10 x20 foot) with open milk jugs filled with
water. I put them on the south side so the sun heats the water and
during very mild seasons they actually heat the greenhouse at night.

If your greenhouse is not holding humidity, you may not be watering
properly.
