Air humidity in the apartmentAll methods are reducedto one - it is necessary to increase the air humidity. By the way, this is important not only for plants. Dry air is also harmful to humans: by drying out the mucous membranes, it reduces our protection against seasonal viruses. In this regard, it is even more important to keep indoor plants safe and sound in winter - because they are living humidifiers and that naturally improve the microclimate in the house. So, how can you increase the air humidity in your apartment and protect plants from drying out:
1. Spraying
The simplest, but, alas, short-lived method,which requires you to be organized: after all, you need to spray the plants several times a day. You also need to spray water from a spray bottle correctly: never direct the stream at the leaves and flowers, you need to spray the air above the plant (at a height of half a meter). At the same time, keep in mind: some plants easily tolerate dry air - most often these are specimens with glossy leathery leaves (for example, "money tree", aloe). They can not be sprayed. And others - with pubescent velvety leaves - do not tolerate water on the leaves at all (for example, Uzumbara violet, geranium and others). From such water procedures they can rot.
