What a beautiful Ascocenda!
Makes me think of Ascda. Guo Chia Long. Is this maybe one of the parents??

Tindo, it goes to the shower once or twice a day to be heavily misted. Have only had it since April so the true test will come when humidity drops sharply during winter heating period coming on very soon. I purchased two at the time to see how they would do in my environment and have been quite impressed with their performance with lighting well below recommended levels.

Ken, you're just entering heating period? I've had the furnace running since end of September here and house is very dry. I depend on trays of gravel kept wet with a small fan blowing over them 24/7 and manage about 55-60%. Guess that's the price we pay for beautiful springs, manageable summers and great autumns, eh?  |

Ross, I normally start heating in late Sept. to early Oct. but it's usually Dec. before the air in the house gets down to 40%. There is no sense trying to keep it much above that in the winter as the windows sweat too much during the really cold days.
For the last couple of weeks the humidity has pretty much been 85 to 100% outside and it's either raining or a grey day, definitely not good growing weather as the length of the daylight is also very limited. This weeks weather forecast is for 13 to 18 deg C and more rain so the house won't dry out anytime soon.
