It is, during the day, with out the orchidarium, the humidity would be at around 45% during the winter, if not lower. How does your humidity go to 80-85% in winter?
I just like to keep things on the dry side at night, just my personal preference. During the day, in my orchidarium, humidity reaches near 100% for hours and hours and hours until the fans come on.

Do you grow most of your orchids in the living room? Have you got a photo of your growing area/plant setup?

Well I have read a far bit saying it's better to have drier plants in low humidity when the weather is coldest which is mostly at night time/winter. So having low humidity at night and then high as possible during the day [when the plants should be actively growing does make sense to me :nod:

It is just a window sill at the moment :blushing: with supplemental lightings during the winter.

I think a lot of people just grow at or on their window sill/s. As good a place as any I think :nod:

Yes, but my window sills look like orchid warehouses at the moment. Looking forward to moving and organazing plants, but need to wait two more years... :(

Just saw your question, sorry. :blushing: I do have air washer and wet towels on the central heating radiators and my place is so small that laundry increases the humidity too. And I do laundry few times per week.
