I love the way your cloches look, they add a little extra to the shelves I think. Those humidity mats are interesting for sure. I have 4 cats, so I use 2 fountains that are always running in the main space in my home and I've noticed it helps with the humidity too.
Oh lovely. I'm literally felt my stress levels decrease the second I saw this new video lol there's something about your voice and our shared love for plants that is incredibly soothing to me. Thanks for taking the time and sharing your love of plants with us.
I keep my calathea bunched together and then around them I found these super cute lil colored glass vases at target and I have those filled w water arranged w the plants. I also added a nano fish tank to my room. It’s a planted tank so it’s low maintenance and I keep my cissus and Alocasias around that. I also like setting cachepots in trays of water
Fill a big pot with water and a water pump and water heater for your room with plants it's much cheaper then a heater it'll keep you warm and keep the room slightly humid and the sound of running water is so relaxing plus animals love drinking that warm water
I loved this video! This winter I decided to diy my own cloches. I took water, juice, and soda bottles of all sizes because I have plants of all sizes. I went to the Dollar Tree and bought sheets of Peel and Stick paper and some Tempera paints. After drinking the beverage, I would either cut off the bottom or the top of the bottle. If I cut off the top portion of the bottle, I would place a strip of the peel and stick along the cut to decorate it up. If I cut off the bottom portion, I would paint the bottle cap to match whatever peel and stick I used. They came out beautiful!!!
I have my humidity lovers near a 5 gal fish tank. I live in Arizona so needless to say we're very dry in the winter and my Hoyas really love being nearby.
hello, exactly the video that I need, here in France we are actually beating the record of the number of consecutive days without rain, it is sad, and we can feel it even inside the apartment ..... no damage for the moment, I put a wet towel on the heating radiator, but I soon as I open the door, the humidity drops .... thanks for your tips !
I have much lower humidity in the summer time because my air conditioner dries everything out. My radiators don't seem to do much damage. I have never tried glass cloches but yours look so pretty I just have to.
Hi Nick! I always enjoy your videos so much. Just listening to you is so soothing. Seeing Muffin is always a bonus. This was very helpful. Have you ever tried pebbles in a saucer with water to set your plant on for humidity? I've been thinking about trying that. Thank you so much for sharing!
Hi Nick! From Williamsburg, PA….wish your shop was closer. I really enjoy the videos and Muffin. I have a Joey good luck black cat. My cats don’t bother the plants, except for the spider which I bought for their room. They clean their teeth on the babies, chew on their leaves and bat them around.
What's your thoughts on placing a plastic bag over avocado plant? I have two growing from the seed and I just transplanted one in soil and the other in water....
I wish I could not have to supplement my humidity. My average humidity is about 30% relative, with it maybe getting up to about 45% when it rain....it never rains here in south, central Washington state. I tried anthuriums and some philos without humidity and they just did horribly. I now have a large humidifier that keeps the whole house at about 50-55%. At night I try to push it up to 60%. It works for the most part, but I still can't have many large anthuriums and velvet philos that can't fit in my grow cabinets:( I wish I had the humidity Philly does with an average of 55-65%.
Hi, Nick. Do you think a washed-out reused pasta sauce or jam jar would be an okay substitute for a plastic baggie over top of terracotta potted plants or would the glass potentially be too thick? Thanks & I just discovered & have grown (hahaaaa plant joke ahhaa) to love your videos
I have tried putting a glass jar over baby plants but not older mature plants due to the size not fitting in the glass. The only issue I have had is lack of air flow to the plant. For this, I put a few flat-ish rocks around the plant in the soil spaced apart. By resting the glass jar on top of the rocks encircling the plant, there is adequate airflow. I also find glass to let more light in compared to plastic cups while also trapping more humidity : ) best of luck!@@Lemons19902010
This was so helpful, thank you Nick!! Winter is such a hard time of year for plants in my home. Lack of humidity (and sometimes a heavy watering hand 🤦♀ - forever working on this lol) causes me to lose quite a few plants each winter that THRIVE in my house during spring/summer. I'm actually going to a terrarium workshop this Sunday to build my first terrarium and learn more about them! P.S. Muffin is the cutest guest star 🥰
I have the same issue-- thriving summer/spring greenhouse vibes but desolate tumbleweed ghost town in winter comparatively... I'll definitely use the plastic bag hack for newly planted babies in their pots!!
...I live in zone 9, the ONLY humidity we get is in the winter. Please do not say "your house has humidity". Its 20% humidity outside right now on 2.24.23
Placing plants close together on the shelf can help to raise humidity too, I've multiplanted begonias and no longer getting crispy leaves!

That makes me so happy to hear! ☺️☺️
I know you are over the white shelf, but it looks amazing! ❤ It made me want to organize my plants lol. Love your videos. Thank you for sharing 🙏
I happened to get my first anthrium today and I was worried about humidity. Thanks!

I love the look of that plant in the blue pot! Beautiful combo!!

That is so smart and a great way to recycle plastic!

Moving to SE Asia seems to have done the trick...
I actually really like how your shelves look with less plants... more intentional.

when i say the timing of this video is *perrrrfect* wow thank u
Love the appearance from Muffin 🐈⬛️
Thank you for this video, really needed it

Love your channel! Video idea- do a drinking game with one your friends:) please!!❤

Hello, I will try the bag cover for my elephant ear bulbs. 😀
I've learned some good/new things. Thank you.
Omg muffin checking out the humidity tray with u is too cute. 😂😂❤❤
Really helpful. Thank you, Nick
I so love your videos!

What's your thoughts on placing a plastic bag over avocado plant? I have two growing from the seed and I just transplanted one in soil and the other in water....
I think that will really help it get started! I usually keep anything I grow from seed inside a plastic bag until it’s too big
The shelves are gorgeous and I wish that I had Muffin's agility.

Same here, I live in So. California, and it might rain in the winter but never in the summer. I have to have a humidifier.
Dang 😕 I’ve lived in the Philly area all my life, I tend to forget there are other climates 😅😂
Great tips, thank you so much! And I LOVE a🐱MUFFIN ALERT!! She's adorable.
Whoa! Is that a BLUE planter I see? Haha. It looks good though!
😂😜

Have you tried either of these methods?

Muffin says thank you 🐈⬛ You’re not alone, I always lose plants in the wintertime!
bottom watering might help!! the plants take what they need and if there is extra water in the tray just discard it!
I have the same issue-- thriving summer/spring greenhouse vibes but desolate tumbleweed ghost town in winter comparatively... I'll definitely use the plastic bag hack for newly planted babies in their pots!!
yes I have a white fusion that died and attempted to come back while living in my bathroom...... it looks tf crazy 🤣
Don't need to add humidity in the spring and summer: Depends where you live......
Also, open top aquarium. Lol Raises the humidity level considerably.
A fish tank and plastic has given alot of plants a new lease on life.
I've ditched the plastic bag for just a large cheaply thrifted drinking glasses on my smaller props in pots.
💚💚💚
Yay Muffin!
Those white shelves are too functional to lose..maybe paint it out in black to change up aesthetic? 🤔
...I live in zone 9, the ONLY humidity we get is in the winter. Please do not say "your house has humidity". Its 20% humidity outside right now on 2.24.23
hallo Mr Muffin!
Technically you could harm your plants with spraying from the extra moisture sitting on there unless you use fans, crazy!

Great spaces you have made. Helpful thank you x
