The Hunter "Care-Free" humidifiers that don't need replaceable filters are
very nice. Get the largest one you can find. I've had the 3.5 Gallon output (the tank is actually about 2 1/2 gallons?) model for over a year and it works great. If you have very dry air it will probably need to be refilled daily, it may last several days if your air isn't too dry. If you want something that lasts longer, you'll need one of the console humidifiers with a bigger tank or figure out how to hook it up to a water supply (I need to figure that out some day). -danny "sandra" wrote in message ups.com... Hello I was wondering....can anyone please suggest a room humidifer for me that works exceptionally well with orchids. I've been reading some reviews, and I've gotten a lot of mixed signals about some of the humidifiers I've been looking at. I'm leaving my very first orchid at home with my sister until I can obtain a nice humidifier that works well with it. -Sandra |

Humidifier Suggestion?
Hello I was wondering....can anyone please suggest a room humidifer for
me that works exceptionally well with orchids. I've been reading some reviews, and I've gotten a lot of mixed signals about some of the humidifiers I've been looking at. I'm leaving my very first orchid at home with my sister until I can obtain a nice humidifier that works well with it. -Sandra |

They are very nicely engineered. I wash the base section weekly, but it otherwise requires almost no maintenance. They sell for about $50 at warehouse clubs. John |

Why do you think you need a humidifier? What kind of orchid do you own and
where do you live? many common orchids grow fine in 50% humidity, that is what is commonly avaliable in most climates. K Barrett "sandra" wrote in message ups.com...

For those of us growing indoors with central heat, it's more like 20-30%
humidity during the winter unless you have some form of humidification. I don't get 50% in my basement during the winter without a humidifier. -danny "K Barrett" wrote in message news:Qrixd.525632$wV.379611@attbi_s54... Why do you think you need a humidifier?

When I grew indoors with central heat I still had at least 50% humidity...
so our experiences differ. Therefore its only polite to ask what the person's growing conditions are before you offer advice. K Barrett "danny" wrote in message ...
