Humidity Level
Hi,
I have been wondering what is the acceptable level of humidity to raise orchids indoors. My home, in the South, naturally stays about 42-46% humidity in the winter. My orchids are in a southeastern exposure and get early morning sun. Most of them are planted in sphagnum moss, but I plan to switch them all over to a bark based medium. The moss stays moist for over a month or more without watering! My home is rather cool in the winter at 66-67°. I am not sure what will happen this summer. The humidity level most likely will drop a bit as I will aircondition my home to about 74-76°.
Is my current winter humidity level good or should I think about getting a humidifier?
