How to create a humid environment for indoor plants

Inside plants

During the fall and winter many inside plants They have a bad appearance: yellow leaves, brown tones at the ends, the flowers wither quickly or are even completely absent. The cause of this is the lack of humidity inside our home. Today we tell you how to solve it.

Most indoor plants are used to humid environments (70% humidity or more) and, when we turn on the heating in our home, what little humidity there might be is lost, leaving around 10% or less. If we place humidifiers (which is highly recommended) we will take a big step forward, since we can reach up to 50% humidity, but that is not all, we can help our plants a little more with another very simple solution.

It is simply a matter of placing a "humidifier container", that is, placing the pot on a plate or tray containing water and gravel, the container must be totally waterproof and free from the risk of oxidation. Preparing this container is very easy:

First we will have to place a thin layer of gravel, 2 cm thick is enough, but you can put more if the depth of the container allows it. Then we will fill with water without completely flooding, and we have our container ready. The water will pass through the gravel and evaporate, creating a humid environment for your plant. Place the pot inside the container and remember to check the water level to add again when necessary.
