Does Humidity from Greenhouse cause Indoor Mold and Rot Issues??

If you use an indoor greenhouse, either with bulk humidifier or coolmist/ultrasonic...
Does the humidity pumped into the greenhouse escape and wreak moldy havoc on the rest of your house?
If YES -- Is there any way to minimize/avoid this? I'm hoping not to have to line all walls floor and ceiling with plastic, but if that's the only way then so be it.
If NO -- Please say so before I needlessly encase my room in a plastic bubble.
Help! I have not been able to stop worrying about this. I'd rather not take a "wait-and-see" stance with indoor mold.

putting plastic over your walls would be worse.

You could open your window if u have oddly high rh in ur room. Enough to not affect ur gh and let ur room get fresh air. Stale air in any space is bad. In short , yes maybe not the whole house. Just the room its in.

It's quite a distance to the nearest window.
I could have a fan and air purifier running at regular intervals throughout the day, hopefully this will alleviate any stale air pockets and filter out nasties as much as possible.

depending on the humidifier you arent going to mold your walls and putting plastic everywhere will create a humid climate between the walls and the plastic making mold 100X faster.
and really bad mold too.

As already said, leave a window cracked in that room and it will be fine. Household mold usually starts inside the walls from a leaky ceiling or pipes, but also often is found on outside walls if there's poor insulation. Moisture from a mini-greenhouse would need to get through the gypsum board first. RR
