Hey folks! I live in the Pacific Northwest, where the air isn't exactly dry, but it's not overly humid either. I recently got a bunch of new plants that need higher humidity according to their labels. I'm wondering whether misting them or placing a small tray of water nearby would work. I'd rather not go all out with a humidifier since some of my other plants don't require high humidity. What have other plant owners done in a similar situation? Any tips? Thanks!

I keep my plants close together since space is tight, but it actually seems to help! The tropical ones thrive, and I just water the dry-loving plants less often. It’s a simple fix if you’re short on space!
Honestly, unless you’ve got some super picky plants, don’t stress too much about it! Most tropicals adapt pretty well to around 40% humidity—just be careful of crispy tips! Since you said your air isn't too dry, they should manage just fine.
Cool, thanks! They were in a normal section of the plant store, so I'm hopeful they'll be fine!
