the ONLY way anyone will be able to keep high humidity requiring plants in a low humidity area in a house, NOT a cabinet, is w/ a humidifier. a simple, once a week cleaning that takes all of 10-15 minutes is all one needs. no pebble tray, or any other 'moisture wicking/evaporating' medium, will ever come close. try maintaining a 60-70% RH in one room where the outside RH averages less than 15% during the day. simply cannot be done w/ 'pebble trays' or any other such nonsense. i've done houseplants both ways. nothing comes close to a humidifier. nothing. giving advice about how to up RH in an already humid state/area is a guarantee for bad advice. if you lived in the west, you'd be singing humidifier praises all day long. otherwise-this is just another one of countless videos giving bad advice based solely on opinion, and personal prefs, not facts. (or what actually, really, works). i've got a humidifier in each of my plant areas/rooms. the results were a game changer. no health issues, no mold, no grungy humidifier tanks. and no more leaves 'sticking' when unfurling. and insane growth rates.... but clever way to pimp yer biz and sell your (silly, mostly) products.......GO BUY A SIMPLE HUMIDIFIER FOLKS. THEY'RE A GAME CHANGER FOR PLANTS ON EVERY LEVEL.... (i've watched too many vids like this on pebble trays and other kaka. it's NOT a good or efficient method. maybe it's a good method for selling silly/useless stuff, but that's about it).
Hi there - always appreciate feedback. I’m not sure if you watched the full video, as it explains different humidity methods and the actual range of humidity levels each method can add to your space, and yes some are very small percentages and yes there are a large range of variables that will impact your RH. The point of the video is to share alternative methods for adding humidity to a space, some people might only need a little boost of humidity, so some of these methods could work for them. If you watch the video at 30:45 “THOUGHTS ON HUMIDIFIERS” I do share my opinion on humidifiers and actually do recommend them if it fits your needs. I am not against humidifiers, I am against misting, but currently do not do use either in my own home. Hope this clarifies any confusion. 💚
@@RT1home any and all methods OTHER THAN upping the ambient/surrounding air to a CONSISTENT level of 50-60% or higher w/a humidifier is just going to subject plants to a constantly changing micro environment. which literally forces the plant to constantly try and readjust. causes actual physical stress/damage. NOT good for the plants. the end. pebble tray and everything else are just bad practices that need to die. humidifiers for small rooms can be had for about 30 bux. largers rooms for about 80, etc. they're efficient, quiet, and do the job extremely well and hassle free. anyone who wants to go a different route, afaic, needs to get their head examined, if they're looking for actual tangible, viewable results; but g'luck w/ your business endeavor, which is the point of your video, no ? ;)
@@anonablous We're all entitled to our own opinions, I think it's a bit extreme to say there is only one way to do something. Also, I don't agree that adding something like a pebble tray to your plants causes "physical stress/damage", especially since (as you stated previously), they do not raise the humidity levels that much (and as I state in the video). Again, as shared in the video, some of these methods can be used more for decorative purposes. But some of the methods - such as using a cloche, greenhouse cabinet/terrarium - do create a consistent and large amount of humidity without the use of a humidifier. I have measured the humidity levels of my own plants in my own home using these methods. It might not be the same for you, and that's ok.
@@RT1home i'm not referring to cloches or terrariums/cabinets. i'm referring only to an 'open' room setting. using 'pebble tray' w/ 'humidity' in any sense of being actually helpful for plants in an ambient room setting is simply false, and demonstrably so, and yeah, a constantly changing micro environment of low humidity right next to a plant can throw it off. a lot of these plants we keep *evolved* a physiology suited for *ninety* percent and even higher humidity. we barely do them a favor at 70% ;).that they can adapt at all to our houses is a testament to them, not us, heh. pebble trays ? might up the immediate space humidity by 5% or so on a good day, when the outside isn't bone dry, right near the plant's bottom, while up top it's already in relatively drier air. plants don't deal in what you feel is an opinion. they deal in actual physical properties of things, and how to exploit those things to grow/reproduce..and while the growth rates we see might impress us, it's usually a pale comparison to what they achieve when things like high humidity are reached/kept. the difference is night/day. my real point though, as stated in an earlier post, is that this video is more about hawking your wares than offering any really valuable info relevant to your friggin' title. you could at least be honest about that......i'm done here. success in all your endeavors , attractive or effective :)
thanks for all ideas
Thanks for watching 💚
