Humidity is sometimes very important; it can make the difference between a lovely houseplant and a spectacular houseplant. This article will demonstrate some of the ways to create humidity.
I am a strong believer in the simple fact is that what matters in this life is how we treat others. I think that's what living is all about. Not what I've done in my life but how I've treated others. ~~ Sharon Brown
Enjoyed the article, Lee Anne. We have almost 200 potted plants in the house during the winter. We've discovered that the sheer number of plants raises humidity levels in most of the rooms. We have pots grouped together in several areas and have discovered that the humidity in the immediate vicinity of these groups is slightly higher than in the rest of the house. We've started placing some humidity-loving plants in these groupings and so far have found that they do quite well in that environment. We do use pebble trays for those plants that need higher humidity levels than the groupings can provide.

i was thinking of contacting a nurshery to see if they have or know of a place where i could get really big clear plastic bags and just wrap up the plant- a ginger- in that and mist the inside. that way everyone wins. The plants gets more humidity and i dont have window or door issues a humidifer would create.
I've used clear dry cleaner bags in the past, and they worked well.
