Using fans without drying out tank?

[nzadro]

Hello friends,

I recently repurposed a large ikea cabinet to use as an enclosed orchid space, so I can grow with LED lights. Inside, I mounted a small usb fan to provide air circulation. My issue is this the fan dries out the enclosure too much.

I do not have a misting system, aside from my own misting bottle (used daily, sometimes twice) mainly because these are not *high* humidity orchids - but regardless, they can't be too happy with the low humidity and high LED light. It is *too* much of a wet/dry cycle.

I have started to keep the fan running during the day, but turn off at night to allow some of the humidity raise @ night, naturally.

Unconventional question: is a fan necessary if the enclosure is not air tight?
