Low Humidity Problem

You can also place a small fan and have it blowing on a tray under your orchids or some other water container. It will increase the evaporation rate. Be careful not to blow directly on the orchids since it can dry them out as well. Be especially careful of any flower spikes.

Hmmmm. My fans blow directly on my orchids 24/7 with no adverse affect. In fact many are in spike or new growth. I haven't done anything to try (in vain I am sure) to raise humidity with the fans.
