Hi, it would be better to put some fans to force air circulation: in this way you can avoid the over- or under- heating of the whole air mass and also avoid molds or fungus. And more: try to move the surface of water in the pot (from time to time) because if a slight film forms on it, it reduces the evaporation power.

(sorry my poor english)

Also I just ordered some live spagnum moss to go in there to help with the humidity needs as well, we have a nice breeze today and it is making the lining of the greenhouse move/sway so its getting air.

I would put some in there but it is the same issue of electricity and having to run a chord through a window and encouraging bugs to come through.

This time of the year we get flies, and I don't want a household full of the dang things.

I had heard of that. I will give it a try, so far no mosquito's just the beginnings of flies.

My hope is once I am able to put my humidifier in there that the fan on it will help with air circulation.

Noone will judge you on your English which is fine BTW. Thanks for the input good point.

Kindra how hot is it getting in there. Can you feel the difference in humidity already? Does your area frequently receive frost?
