Condensation--Possible Crown Rot? Male
Default Condensation--Possible Crown Rot?

My home is pretty dry (40% RH) so I usually have a humidifier on to raise the humidity. The humidifier raises the RH to around 70-80%. I also have a fan at night to circulate the air and to prevent condensation.

However, I forgot to turn on the fan yesterday night. When I checked this morning, most of my phals had condensation in the crown and base of their leaves. I immediately took a napkin and dried the affected areas.

What are the chances that this leads to crown rot? The night temperature was 75F/23.9C, and the water was probably sitting on the crown for a good 7 hours.
