YOU CAN NOT RUSH TIME

Humidifier Question
Hi all.... need some advise. Presently all my trees that are in "winters nap" mode are doing fine. My indoor trees are another story. I am guilty of a cardinal sin..... overwatering. I have a very dry home, stupidly, I probable have watered more than I should to make up for the lack of moisture in the air. My home is always kept cool 60-65 F. and the trees are in my corner windows (east and south). Being in zone 5/6 they will be inside for a couple of months more. Suprisingly the Serrisa's are doing fine, the Brush Cherry's and the Ficus are suffering....big time. I want to buy a humidifier for the 'plant' corner. Is a small 2 gallon a day type going to get the moisture up in this area or do I need a bigger unit? Sometimes you have to fail to learn

Re: Humidifier Question
thats what i use too.
it works ok,but i also keep a vaporizer for extra dry days. more importantly though,is the lack of air cirrulation in a corner,the humidifier has a fan built in and thats a great help. your pots dry out faster helping with the overwatering problem,and keeps the folage dryer helping with fungus problems. if you get nothing else,get a fan. imo,its esential.
