Humidity!
Claude,
The same applies to S/H pots effect on humidity as it does for trays - they are adding some humidity, but you're in effect, humidifying the entire room and home or apartment. In other words, the effect is minimal. Minimal plus minimal is still minimal. I suppose that a phalaenopsis with its leaves spread out flat over the medium are seeing a localized boost in RH, but as little as a few inches above the medium and the effect pretty much vanishes. Two more comments: 1. How are your plants doing? If the answer is "well," then don't fret. If the answer isn't that positive, 2. Consider getting a console humidifier with sufficient capacity to raise the RH to somewhere in the 50% - 60% range. Not only will your plants like it, but you will, as well. -- Ray Barkalow - First Rays Orchids - www.firstrays.com Plants, Supplies, Books, Artwork, and Lots of Free Info! .. . . . . . . . . . . "Claude" wrote in message .. . Thank you everyone! I must say that I grow all my plant in S/H culture and I`m wondering if humidity is an issue with that method of culture. My pots are on wooden shelve with fluorescent light. During the day, the humidity goes aroud 40 to 45 % and at night goes up to 55 %. Should I be concerned? Should I put all my pots on trays with water knowing they are already in S/H culture???? Thanks Claude Happy New Year to all! Bonne et Heureuse Année à Tous! |
