| Jenny ALL of my orchids, including one catt, grow in humidity below 40% all year. 40% would be high humidity for us, average is probably 25-30%. Everybody is doing fine and have acclimated to it quite well. I used to have brown tips on my Cymbidiums outside (even lower humidity) but even they have gotten used to it. I never mist because the moisture only lasts a few seconds if the air is really dry. After Christmas I am setting up an orchid room upstairs (I have boxes of T5 lights in my hallway right now - Yippee!!) and will add a humidifier. The research on equipment continues!
Nancy what kind of humidifier do you use??? I don't want the type that leaves a white residue on everything.
