Humidity vs. Air Flow
Default Humidity vs. Air Flow

Happy Saturday!

As a newbie here who has never killed ANY plant in my life other than EVERY orchid I've ever owned, some may have read on my welcome post that 2015 I've resolved to succeed at orchids this year.... LOL.

I think I've found the perfect spot for three orchids (2 Phals, 1 Oncidium) in my apartment—but my question is this:

I know everything is about balance, but which is more important, high humidity or Air Flow?

I have a west window in my shower with a small ledge. I have a transparent shower curtain, allowing light in from all directions. I've been able to maintain a humidity of 50-75% from taking two showers a day and then keeping the shower curtain closed. Only concern is—the restricted air flow. With the curtain open, the humidity remains around 20-30%, with occasional drops into the teens.

I would love your feedback, thoughts and advice!
