spraying indoor plants...
 
Hello, I was woundering if I had a good habit or a bad habit. I spray
lightly my plants with room temperature water a few times per day,
when I pass in front of them. Is that good or bad? I do that in order
to build up the humidity level of my appartement.

thanks for your answer

It probably doesn't help much, but it doesn't hurt, either.

If you start to see moss on the pots you are probably spraying too much. If
the carpet starts to turn green, ditto.

Some plants enjoy the extra humidity, others do not.

Many houseplants benefit from misting, especially in the dry indoor
conditions of most houses in the winter.
Rosemary, for instance, is difficult to keep happy unless there is humidity
in the air around it.

I say keep on misting!


Some plants that DO NOT like water on their leaves a
Geraniums
African violets

In the winter, I put my Trop's all over the bathroom once a month, shut the
door and turn the shower on HOT for about 5 min..They perk up to completely
different plants after about an hour in there, which perks ME up which makes
life more bearable for the rest of the folks here..I hate Feb. in
