humidity chamber question
    #8010282 - 02/11/08 07:15 PM (15 years, 11 months ago)

Soon, I plan on constructing a humidity chamber for my Salvias. My only question is, should this be well ventilated, or sealed tightly?

Ventilated for sure, plants need fresh air.

Make the vents so the chamber can make the most of convection currents. Like holes at very top and bottom.

Depending on how much humidity you want, i made an awesome homemade humidor - just:

Buy a Fish Tank water heater and a fish tank air pump, a few meters of tube that will fit pump and a air stone. Fill a big bucket with water and put the air stone and heater in the water.

This makes extremely high humidity +99% plus it keeps the plants really warm.

Well, I am also a keeper of reptiles, so I have a few old aquariums lying around with substrate heaters already attached. I was simply going to use one of those, maybe with a layer of moist vermiculite on the bottom, and cover the top with plastic.

But I like the idea of scruffys method, sounds alot more efficient than what I had planned.
