Humidity trays are great for orchids, ferns, bonsai trees and any tropical indoor plant that needs lots of humidity. Also know as, humidity pebble trays, they are also great tools to increase humidity for indoor plants during the winter. Check it out :) ! I hope this video is useful when making your humidity tray and let me know how your humidity tray ends up ! I use humidity tray for ferns, the humidity tray can also help with Monsteras, make sure to pick the size of your humidity tray accordingly.
Do you guys know any other strategies to increase the humidity for your indoor plants during winter? Share in the comments below! 🌿💚
Tks for the video! do u have pics of your charcoal? (what kind of charcoals, activated charcoals? or a link to get them) but not all plants like Humidity, maybe for your next video , you could introduce to us which plants dislike high humidity, and which are those that love humidity?

Btw I highly suggest (for the passionate grower) to purchase a product called Mosquito Bits (available via amazon, doesn’t allow fungus gnats to breed, kills them over time) into the pebble tray! :) I live in Hawai’i and it’s a must for me. Peace!✌️💖

Hola Lucia. I just bought a birds of paradise about a month ago. I left it in same plastic pot it came with. I did buy a concrete pot to put my plant in. I really love this plant and wish to never kill it 😅 do you think it's a good idea to put gravel inside the concrete pot and add water to in then place the birds of paradise on top? Does this make sense? Is concrete the same as terra cotta pots? Thanks! ❤
I have lots of fishtanks with holes in the lids and air bubblers in them as well as filters. I'm in the south... Do I still need a humidity tray for my monstera deliciosa I finally got one! :D
MageTezzos first , congratulations on getting your monstera ☺️🌿! For your question: I’d say it depends.. is the air in your home really dry ? With the monstera, I’d recommend instead, misting the leaves and aerial roots every day. This will help you keep your plant hydrated and increase humidity a little bit more 🙃🌿
You can find all my videos on monstera deliciosa here : ruclips.net/p/PLVX8D19ueuA-yP32LiNAAHrR6heEhH8Fm&feature=share
Hope this is helpful !

Hi Lucia, I have a fern plant. Will the humidity tray work for this type of plant?
Hi! I’m new to this. But do you still continue to water the soil? Or is this water tray enough water for the plant
Hii! Welcome to the plant world 🌿🌱♥️ Yes, you continue to water the soil ☺️🌿💦.. This is only to increase humidity in case the air is dry and your plants needs more humidity around her! You can find the method that I use for watering here : ruclips.net/video/e85Tzzllq1U/видео.html
And my plant care routine (where I also explain how I water my plants) here : ruclips.net/video/Skl3BPJdGHI/видео.html
Hope this is helpful ♥️🌿
Do we still need to water the plant after we set up this tray?
Hola, te puedo preguntar si debo cambiar el agua cada cierto tiempo?
Hola ! Yo la cambio cada semana o algo asi y corro agua en las piedras, para mantenerla limpia. Pero si está bajo luz se evapora más rápido, asi que depende de donde la tengas 😊
This is a great video! Thank you for sharing! If I decide to not make a humidity tray for some of my plants would just spraying the leaves with water work just as well?
Hello! So happy you liked the video! You can for sure spray the leaves, but you have to do it very often (if the plant seems to need humidity - - like twice or three times a day)
Hope this is useful and let me know if you have any other questions ☺️♥️🌿
Hi. Will this work with a philodendron pink Princess? Also can I use leca pebbles? I just bought a huge bag. Thanks
Yes and yes ! Just make sure the air is not super dry around her.. humidity trays will help but sometimes if the air is really dry, it won’t be enough. You can find more ways to increase humidity here : ruclips.net/video/3OxhBqt9roU/видео.html
Hola! Cuando se debe poner mas agua en el tray?
Yo trato de poner agua cada semana o algo así 😊 dependiendo de que tan rápido se seque.. lo que queremos es mantener el agua y que las raíces no la toquen (entonces mantener el nivel de agua exactamente abajo de donde acaban las piedras )
how long do you keep it in the humidity tray? and how often would you say you do this method, let’s say in a week? thanks love ur channel
another question
does dracaena plants need humidity?
Hi! I usually keep them on the humidity tray for as long as they need (more in the winter months).. Dracaenas are very strong plants, but it’s always good to provide some humidity, especially in winter when the air becomes more dry (but it also depends on where you live of course😉) you can find a video on how to increase humidity here : ruclips.net/video/nyQ84YXMibw/видео.html
Hope this is helpful !
I have a quick question honey... I have a calathea ornata and it’s in a plastic pot with drainage holes, that then sits in a ceramic pot. I bought a humidifier which I use all the time but I’m starting to notice yellowing of some leaves. I’m going to try a humidity tray but can I sit my plant on it which is in the ceramic pot? Or do I have to lift the plant out of the ceramic pot and put it on the tray? I hope you understand my question it’s a little confusing I know lol
Hi! You can leave the plant in the ceramic pot :) we want to make sure the plant is not sitting in water, so that'd be fine.
Yellowing of the leaves generally has more to do with watering though.. how often do you water your plant? What kind of water do you use? What method do you use?
Of course if the leaves are browning on the edges and drying out, this is most likely related to too much sunlight and/or lack of humidity.. Let me know :)
How big should the tray be relative to the pot?
Good question! I usually use a tray that is about 3-5cm bigger in diameter than the bottom part of the pot and it has worked for me :-)
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but will a humidity tray under a plant work if the bottom of the pot doesn’t have holes?
Hi, this is a great question! the pot does not have to have a hole, as the humidity will go around the plant :)... You can also see more ways to increase humidity here : ruclips.net/video/3OxhBqt9roU/видео.html where I also make a mini humidity tray inside the pot ! Hope it is useful :)
Do you recommend using clay pebbles for humidity trays as well?
No. Use real rocks. You can buy a bag of rocks at the dollar tree or the $.99 store.
love your videos lucia! but i am a bit confused about humidity trays. do they work in rooms that are not warm/hot? i live in a fresh climate. will the humidity tray need warmth to have the water evaporate ?
Hi Sophi! Thanks so much for your comment, I'm so glad you like the videos ❤️
Excellent question! Although it does help, the room doesn't have to be super warm/hot for the humidity tray to work.. Since these are not so deep (humidity trays work better when they are shallow), the water should warm up faster... I also recommend you use charcoal or gravel (the water will evaporate more easily if you use these materials)
Let me know how it works for you 😊!! And sending lots of positive energy 💚🌼🌿💐
@@PlantsandLucia I have doubts too. Did anyone MEASURE the effect?? Once I tried with several trays in one room. My humidity meter did not show any improvement even after being placed directly against one of the plants over 2 days. No impact on room humidity or local humidity.
Will this bring gnats? I stay close to a field and I am always seeing small flying bugs. I really do not want them in my home.
I'm curious about that as well. I keep seeing flying pest around my plants. I don't want to add to that. 😬
@@faviolaortiz8831 Hello she didn't respond to us so. I just bought a small oscillating fan. I put it near the plants. It doesn't blow to hard but, I did see it keep a gnat from landing. I put yellow sticky traps down also. Hopefully this can work for you also. Good luck and happy planting!
Genius!
Hiii so happy you liked it 🥰🌿! Let me know how it works for you ♥️♥️
Do you need to have holes on the bottom of the pot that holds the plant? Thank you
Hi! That depends on the type of pot :).. if it is terracota, you don’t have to... but plastic is not porous so it will be more difficult to get the humidity up... or a glazed pot for example will also not be very effective
@@PlantsandLucia Thanks so much, my money tree is in a plastic pot in a metal pot. I live in a drier climate and now with winter and heater being on it will definitely need more humidity.
What type of put should the plant be in?
Hi Christina! This depends on the plant. Some plants like to be a bit more compressed whereas others prefer a bit more space. Never use too big of a pot because this will lead to overwater. Now, in terms of material the most popular ones are plastic or terracotta. I have a video that talks about these two and pros and cons on each one so you can see which may be best for you and the plants that you have :-) You can find it here: ruclips.net/video/qbXmDmMpOjw/видео.html
Hope this is helpful and I am here for any other question you may have :-)
Did anyone MEASURE the effect?? Once I tried with several trays in one room. My humidity meter did not show any improvement even after being placed directly against one of the plants over 2 days. No impact on room humidity or local humidity.
Hi! I recently found your channel & subbed! You are too cute! I’m finding your vids super helpful. Can you talk about how humidity trays work with plants out of their nursery pots AND planted in flower pots with no drainage holes? I find that some of the prettiest pots don’t have holes. Is it best practice not to buy them (I already have 3 of them😐)? I’m concerned about my Alocasia Polly (African Mask - she’s currently still in nursery pot but needs repotting), and my Prayer Plant that I JUST bought that I’m reading needs tons of humidity as well. I appreciate your help!
Hii! Thanks so much for your comments ♥️♥️! For the humidity tray you don't need to have your plants in pots with drainage holes... As you don't want the plant to sit in the water... However, I always recommend you have pots with drainage holes, as this helps to make sure the water doesn't stay in the pot and your plant consequently sits in soaked soil (which is not good)... You can use the pots without holes as decorative pots, and then out your plant inside with another pot that has drainage holes...
Yes! The prayer plant needs lots of humidity, you can use a humidity tray (if you find that the air in your house is dry) or mist the leaves every day or every two days :) I also have mine close to other tropical plants, I find that helps her too with humidity levels 🌷🌿☺️
Hope this helps and let me know how it goes!
Necesito un tutorial en español, no encuentro
Do you have problems with gnats w/ this method?
I haven't had problems with fungus gnats and my humidity tray, but always check that you don't add organic materials (like soil, worm castings) and just stones/gravel/rocks :-) Let me know if you have any other questions 💚
I love your aprons! Where do you get them
Hii! Sorry i missed this earlier! I got them from a vendor from Ghana here is Berlin! I have been trying to find them online so I can tell you guys where to get them but still haven't found them! As soon as I do I'll let you guys know :)
can i use marbles instead?
Yes :) Just make sure the plant is not seating in the water
I make humidity tray just like yours.
Cool! I really like it because it is super easy to make and it really helps keep the humidity up -- I am currently using this one for my Christmas cactus ⛄🌿
Does this have to be in the sun to work?
Hi! Not only in the sun per se, but in a temperature where the waer can evaporate a little from the top :)
@@PlantsandLucia okay thank you :)
Should remove the thing under the pot? You know the thing that pots have
Where did you buy the stones?
I got them at Toom (here in Germany it is like Home Depot or such) :-)
@@PlantsandLucia you are in Germany 🇩🇪. I didn’t know that
How does one know if their plant needs a humidity tray? I have a pink splash plant and it likes 50% humidity. 🤷🏾♀️
That is a beautiful plant 😍
This is a great question! Typically plants that need lots of humidity can benefit from humidity trays. These include orchids, ferns, calatheas, and pink splash plants.. However, I think the best way to know is to observe our plants (they truly communicate with us😊). For example, I usually use a humidity tray for my calatheas only in the winter (as my house becomes dry, and I can see that it affects them - this can typically show with brown edges in the leaves for example).. So in conclusion, it is better to really try to observe them and see what they like 😊. I hope this was useful!
U can also Google and see what the humidity is outside!
Can I just know what is wrong with using a terracotta plate?
You can use a terracota tray :) but make sure that it is glazed, because terracota is porous.. So if it is glazed you will prevent the water from going through the terracota :) Hope this is helpful!
Love your videos! Where do you buy these beautiful aprons?!
Hiii! Thank you so much for your words ❤️ I'm so happy you like the videos! I got my aprons from a vendor here in Berlin that comes from Ghana 🇬🇭
Unfurtunately, she still does not have a website. However, the link below sales similar clothes and has the beautiful mission of assisting Ghanaian women in their business. You can check it out here : yevuclothing.com/pages/about-us
I hope this is helpful 😊 sending a big hug!
no one says how long we keep them for?
Hi Jenny! You mean how long we keep the plant on the humidity tray for? Let me know and I will try to answer your question :) !
@@PlantsandLucia yes!!! thanks.
@@Daisy.florina perfect ☺️! So you should keep your plant on the humidity tray as long as she needs it... So for instance, when the air becomes drier in winter and I see some of my plants suffering from lack of humidity, I use this method with them and make sure the tray has water to evaporate and increase humidity around them during the winter (or the time we have the heating system on). Make sure the water is just below the top of the stones so your plant is not seating on water and I would also recommend to place tropical plants in one spot (close to each other) that will also help them 🌿🌴🌿🌳♥️
Let me know if this is helpful,
Sending lots of positive energy to you and your plant 🌿♥️
Lucia
Should all plants have a humidity tray?
no one says how long to keep them there, all day, week an hour ??
Hi! Great question and thanks for sharing it here..! The humidity tray should be left under the plant for as long as you think the plant needs it. For example, I put some of my plants (the ones that need extra humidity) on humidity trays for the whole winter (as I notice that the air in my house gets more dry) and keep adding water to the tray as needed..
Hope this is helpful and if you have any other question please let me know ☺️🌿♥️
Thank you for asking this question, I finally know the answer.
