    Ashley is a soil scientist who has had a passion for plants since she was a small child. In the long summers as a child, she would garden alongside her grandmother and it was then that she realized her love for greenery. With years of great studying, Ashley had begun her post-secondary education at the University of Saskatchewan.
    At first, her second love, animals, was the career path she chose but while doing her undergrad she realized that her education would take her elsewhere. And with that, four years later she graduated from the University of Saskatchewan with a bachelor’s degree in science and a major in Soil Science.
    Some of Ashley’s interests are RUclips, in which she posts informative videos about plants and gardening. The focus of Ashley’s RUclips channel is to bring science to gardening in a way that is informative but also helpful to others learning to garden. She also talks about the importance of having your own garden and the joys of gardening indoors. Ashley continues to study plants in her free time and hopes to expand her RUclips channel as well as her reach to up-and-coming gardeners.

      Does water move cells through plant? Chloroplasts? What else?

      I now have a theory that a 3 story greenhouse will permit greater circulation.
      Especially if you have a Walipini base, causing high air flow both in air but more importantly soil.
      I wish we could start a patron campaign to test new design.
      I like that humidifier. I also have a personal face mister I use on seedlings.

    Your hair looks lovely here! Lambs Ear is fuzzy. I was fascinated, as a child, when I first touched one. Great info! I know 2 people who could use the information, especially that warmer air holds more water, and they should heat the humid plant rooms. One of them wound up with mold in her brand new bathroom, where she thought it was a good idea to have started plants that needed humidity. Her husband was furious.

    I am bingeing your channel! Thank you for all the great info. I find my humidifier just shoots the mist up and it doesn't really get around much, so even though it says it will cover a 500 square foot room, it doesn't seem to reach plants two feet away, at least according to hygrometers. Is there a particular humidifier that does this better than most, or what would you recommend?

    • @GardeningInCanada

      They are all the same to be honest. Just get one appropriate to the room size so it is not running non stop

    Man… I’ve only used a humidifier when my kids were sick. I’m in the south and hate hot humid days where you walk outside and the moisture in the air is so thick it just sticks to your body and makes you sweat instantly.
    I’m really hoping adding a humidifier will help my plants that have basically stopped growing.

      you’ll need more air circulation for example by running a (ceiling) fan on low setting. its also important not to overwater your plants. mold usually indicates there has been too much water for too long in the soil.

    So if we want our indoor plants to grow faster the humidity should be higher as well as the temp?

    • @GardeningInCanada
      @GardeningInCanada  Год назад

      It is definitely a balance. But ideally a higher temp hold high humidity which is why people will use cabinets or greenhouses indoors.

    Ashley, I tried using a humidifier but quickly run into bacterial and hard water issues. Although the humidifier has a filter and I cleaned it every week, o decided to stop using it because of the hard water deposits. I have budget and environmental concerns about purchasing filters and bottled water for the humidifier. Do you have a better solution?

    • @GardeningInCanada
      @GardeningInCanada  Год назад +2

      Unfortunately the only real solution is bottled water or a filter. you maybe able to use snow and see how it works.
