I would think that if there was a little dribble of water left in the bottom of the vase, that that should be good enough, at least from what I have read from other threads.

You know I have tried this before and have found little improvement in terms of keeping the root area more humid/moist. Its as if the surface area isn't big enough to make an appreciable difference. I even tried it with adding hydroton , figuring the surface area would increase, but then you have the issue of hydroton wanting to roll out every time you empty the vase.

What I need is a green house where I can make it as humid as possible. This is the clear choice! LOL

I guess the only way to know if this is the way to go is to keep up with the experiment. In the very worst case you'd see the roots start to deteriorate, and then all you have to do is water less often.

I think that part of it is that it's hard for me to imagine how difficult it is to deal with very very low humidity. Here it's never less that 45-50%, so I think that if I were to leave them soaking all day they might not be dry by morning.
