How to Increase Humidity for Houseplants

Most houseplants come from the jungle floor, so they require high humidity to thrive. Many homes tend to be low humidity, though. This leads to unhappy plants that have burned leaf tips and are less likely to thrive. This video shows you three easy ways to immediately increase humidity for houseplants. These are easy ways that only take a few minutes. The three ways to increase houseplant humidity include misting houseplants, grouping houseplants and creating a humidity tray. Houseplants grouped together humidify each other. So it’s good to have as many houseplants as possible. Misting is also a temporary way to humidity houseplants.

Keep the humidity tray filled with water, and you can provide extra humidity to your houseplants.
