Correct misting method

[Austinerd]

Hi there,
I don't bother misting mine. I do use a humidifier though, even though I have had bad luck finding one that lasts more than a couple of months. However I can definitely recommend the Vick's warm mist humidifier. If you decide to go this route, and your room isn't terribly huge, this one works very well as long as you clean it weekly.

I completely agree. A humidifier is THE way to go. You'd have to mist a plant every 5-10 minutes 24/7 to have it do any good.
