Fogger?
Ok, it's been awhile. An update.
I recently purchased a home humidifier that seems more suited to indoor use for Orchids than the usual ones I've tried. It's the FamilyCare HV760. Holds 3.8 litres. There's also a 7.6 litre version. This is an impeller humidifier. It produces cool mist (more like a tiny spray as it's not really fine enough to define as a mist) by, I'm guessing, agitation. No nasty wick to maintain. The water here is very soft so I've had to add about 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda to get it to work. Working well now in a 6x12 room. Cost $30cdn so it's quite inexpensive. Didn't want anything that produced heat so the warm mist types were out. Early days but it does seem to work. As I believe Ray said, creates a bit of a mess on the floor with the water spray so I've put it in an open plastic tub.

Your drywall (I guess that's a misnomer for your conditions), is a whole different issue. I was not suggesting that a 2 gph unit was needed for you, merely that when selecting between the 0.5 liter and 1.5 liter unit, I'd go with the larger one and a humidistat, as it's easy to cut back on a device's output, but impossible to increase it beyond the design max. The whole scientific tome was merely to show that even 1.5 liters might not be as far out of the ballpark as it may seem. |
