Until then, I have pots of water around the plants to help increase the humidity and I’m also spraying them with a spray bottle at least once a day
Since I moved to a new house my poor house plants are not doing very well. I don’t understand it. I’ve had some of them for over 20 years. I bought this house because of the large bay windows that should have been great for my plants. So why are they all wilting and looking terrible? I asked myself. Then I check the humidity in my house and it all came together. It turned out that the air conditioner was taking all of the humidity out of the house and my poor plants we’re dying because of it. But it is too hot to simply turn off the air conditioning. Then me and the plants would both bake to death. Instead I called up an HVAC company to come and see if they could do anything. The technician recommended installing a humidifier that hooks up to my HVAC system. He would also install a humidistat too so that I could control how humid my house is. I think this is exactly what my plants need. It will cost quite a bit of money but it’s worth it to me if I can keep the plants healthy. That’s why I scheduled the HVAC technician to come back and do the installation on Tuesday. Until then, I have pots of water around the plants to help increase the humidity and I’m also spraying them with a spray bottle at least once a day. I think they should survive until Tuesday without proper humidity. I wonder if I should close the vent in the kitchen, for a few days, as well.
