Hi Deb,

I have lots of fish tanks, so the humidity is pretty constant. Fanning will lower the humid conditions.

Mine runs 70-80% because it's an orchidarium with automatic misting system.

I use an ultrasonic purifier humidifier running 16 hours a day at 190 ML per hour. I can maintain 60 % to 70 % RH for my phals.

i have an old humidifier and I added a ultrasonic fogger in it. (i think the fogger is on longer than the 8 hours recomended...I don't know when it will fail...)

Easiest way to increase humidty is with wet towels. I put them on a rack above my heating vents
