Humidity Issues

[TheLivingLegend]

My room is 10x11 and I have an air conditioner, one of the ones you rig into the window. Anyways, I have a pothos, and when the ac is running, the humidity is 25-35 right after misting. Im using an exo terra digital hygrometer mounted halfway up the cage in the center. Anyone have any solutions?

Never seen a non heated room with some plants go below 45%. A well planted screen cage with 2 sides covered in plastic should keep it at 55% no mater what.

Hydro meters are only acurate +-5% tops. Other than that you might be stuck making a tube sonic humidifier. or buying the zoo med repi fogger version.

I remember yesterday you saying your using a small repribreeze so cover the two sides and back with plastic sheeting and if no change add a small ficus and then you won't have a problem

What I do for Noogie's cage is cover one side plus the back with heavy clear plastic sheeting, then I put a warm-mist humidifier at the open side with the nozzle of the humidifier aimed at the cage.
Even with the room heating on, the RH never goes below 60%.

Here is the humidifier I use and recommend (I have 3 of these, they are great!!):

$80 for a 1/10 gallon humidifier???? How does it run for 12 hours and do anything when it can only put out 1/6 of 2 liter?

What about a diffuser or one of those foggers they are supposed to increase humidity anyone know if they work?

I dont understand your post.
The tank is 4L, and pumps out CLOUDS even when set to low!!
I fill it once a day, and it runs 24/7

"The humidifier's 90-watt warm-mist setting delivers about 400 ml of humidity operating up to 10 hours on high, while its 43-watt cool-mist setting delivers about 330 ml of humidity operating up to 12 hours on high."

If you say its over 4L than it can run for a week without a refill.


EDIT: ah found it esigned for rooms up to 500 square feet; ION exchange filter; 4-liter water tank
