Do I Still Mist if Humidity is High? Female
Question Do I Still Mist if Humidity is High?

I got a new top for my home-made wardian case, and it is now doing a lovely job of keeping in the humidity. Perhaps TOO good a job! I watered on Saturday and have done no misting, etc. since (today is Tuesday), and the humidity has been staying pretty consistently around 80% and above.

I've got a fan for air circulation, and am experimenting with propping up corners, etc. until I can find the perfect configuration to keep things more like 50% - 60%. I don't currently have tolumnia in the case (although I plan to soon) -- just a couple catt hybrids and some Den. kingianum. I'm kind of wondering in advance, however: If I DID have something like tolumnia in the case now, would I still mist daily with the humidity this high? Or would I hold off misting until the humidity was more under control?

Thanks for any insight you can offer!
