The coldest months of the year are upon us; for many this means bringing our plants indoors. Seasoned horticulturists, plant lovers, and owners of decorative greenery all know one thing is vital to the health of plants: moisture. With dry air at an all-time high and the heat on inside, a humidifier can boost your plants strength and keep them in good health all season long.
The harsh, dry weather winter can bring isn’t just bothersome for us, it extends to our beloved plants. Whether you have plants in your home already or are bringing in your garden favorites to save them from the brisk cold, a humidifier will keep your indoor garden from wilting. Wilting occurs from a lack of moisture in both the air and the planter, and if not addressed, will be the demise of your greenery.
As humidity is necessary for your plant’s vitality, it is also possible to have too much moisture in your home. High humidity levels in the home can cause moisture to gather in the walls and flooring, resulting in mold growth. Humidity that is too high causes plants to take in less water from its nutrient-rich soil. It’s important to know the healthy humidity level for an indoor plant and according to Epic Gardening, most houseplants require between 40% and 60% humidity. Similarly, this is the same percentage recommended for people!
With the same humidity levels recommended for people and plants, you and your plants will experience the benefits of proper humidity. As your plants are thriving in their newfound moisture, you’ll be enjoying moisturized skin, the absence of chapped lips, and quicker recovery from colds.
As we know, plants require care and attention just like us. The use of a humidifier will ensure your plant stays healthy during the dry winter months and is ready to bloom again come spring. With the effort you put toward keeping your greenery healthy, be sure not to let lack of humidity wilt away your hard work.
