Cloche?

[kmccormic]

Has anyone ever used a cloche to help increase humidity for specific plants? I read about them yesterday and they seemed fascinating. They're large bell jars that stand on their rims. You put them over the plant and they keep in the heat and the respiration from the plant.

They work for some plants, but not so much for most orchids. Most orchids need a lot of air circulation along with the humidity.

However, they work great for ferns, moss, selaginella, fittonia, and I'm sure a host of other plants.
