Switching to a humidifier for mildew?
Ugh. I thought I finally got a handle on my powdery mildew issues I had last spring. Then it was the change of seasons where we were using A/C part of the time and heat part. Which made me wonder if that is part of the issue, the change of seasons.
Doing research, I read that while powdery mildew FORMS in higher humidity, it doesn't actually affect plants until the humidity drops. For example, running A/C humidity is around 45-48%, running heat our humidity drops to around 30%. So I'm rethinking my strategy of using a dehumidifier. Instead I'm going to experiment with using a humidifier to keep humidity around 42-45%. It's easier to add humidity in winter than remove it in summer.
Hoping it is my answer!!!
