Right now, I have great air movement OR great humidity, because the AC type I have dehumidifies as it cools and I redirected the register to not blow directly on the plants. So a good chunk of the day the humidity creeps up and then plunges while the air is on. I should probably track it to see exactly what happens in that corner. I do have a little plant clip fan, I was just worried about needing to add a water feature if I added the fan!
The little airlayer has been there for two weeks now and when I lift the moss like a flap at the bottom it really seems like the last quarter inch at least of root is "glued" already. I don't want to touch it too much but it doesn't move at all when gently poked. The moss is dry and very loose on the outside and not packed very tight, and I am watering it by spritzing the log above the moss until it drips first thing in the morning and mid afternoon when the AC is on. I was thinking about giving it to mid July and starting to tease the moss back out to see how the roots are digging the wood.
