indoor Temperature and Humidity

[MrMasterFlash]

My indoor temperatures range from 20c-26c (68f - 78f) with humidity between 40-45%. I have seedlings that have just grown their true leaves and some plants that are slightly older with many leaves.

Should I be concerned about the conditions?

Are there any cheap ways to increase humidity?

Thanks.

I think you'll be fine. I've had success with more extreme conditions indoors.

I've never found a good way to produce a meaningful humidity increase - I've tried various humifiers, boiling pots of water.. Nothing makes a dent given the rate of air exchange. I tent small plants with Solo cups and clingwrap, especially in the winter when the RH in my room hovers in the low 20s.

Perfect. I've tried adding some trays of water but I'm not convinced that's going to help.

Thanks for the response.

You bet!

Check out the pictures in this glog if you're interested. That plant was grown in the mummification chamber.

I have 2 areas, one holds around 20 and 64%, the other 25 and 55%, both seem to do fine. I would say your temp range is right on and the humidity may be a tiny bit on the low end but it's still in a good range. For a comparison, Hatch valley in NM averages 25%-54% through the growing season, with only about a month averaging over 50%.

Given what they grow there, I'd say you're good

Thanks.
