 Humidity Trays Humidity
Trays are
light weight, plastic trays that display
your plants on a grid that sits above a water reservoir. As
the water in
the tray evaporates, the humidity increases.
Our prices on humidity trays are among the lowest on the internet. Price: See store |
 Heat Vent Deflectors There's nothing worse than the hot, dry air from the furnace for orchids. Closing the heat vents in your growing area is the best solution. If closing heat vents isn’t possible, because the room gets too cold (for people), install Heat Vent Deflectors. Price: $7.95 ea |
 A Warm Sweater I’m including this because I want you to turn down the thermostat. Your orchids will embrace the cooler temperatures, especially at night! Minimizing hot, dry air keeps humidity levels higher. Don't worry about your house being too cold. Most orchids are content with evening temperatures as low as 50-55 degrees. Sorry, you’ll have to go to L.L. Bean or Eddie Bauer for this one because we don’t sell sweaters. |
Both you and your orchids will be more comfortable this winter with higher humidity levels. Put a little effort into modifying your growing area you’ll be rewarded with healthy plants and beautiful blooms all winter - when you really need them!
