Please help!! How do I increase humidity?

does anyone have recommendations/alternatives on how to increase humidity for my pinguicula plant or if there’s any humidifiers you recommend that won’t give out easily and lasts long 😔? I had a humidifier for my pinguicula but it stopped working just today and it hasn’t even been a year of having it 🫩 granted it was nothing special just something small but still a bummer…
7” pot without drainage
Last watered 8 months ago
A smoothie cup with a lid. It's how i raise my humidity without humidifiers
@Araceae are your plants in the smoothie cup ? If so how do you prevent mold formation in a closed environment
@SWVSA if you don't want the mold, you could either crack the lid slightly open or pock a small hole through the top. It keeps most of the humidity in but has some flow. Leave a small layer of water at the bottom too
@Araceae ah okay thank you!
I use a oil diffuser without the oil to raise the humidity!
@TryYuzutree48 wait what the difference between a diffuser and humidifier 😮 is one better than the other
I know it sounds crazy but I use it and it works! Cheaper !!
@TryYuzutree48 how long do you leave it on for a day? And how long have you had it?
@SWVSA I run mine most of the day and I’ve had it for about a year. Cost me about $20. I place it right at the base of my plants
@TryYuzutree48 better than my humidifier has ever done 😭 where did you get it from or do yk the brand?
I got it from Target lol! I was getting brown edges on some of my plants cause humidity was low but since I’ve ran this little thing it has helped a lot!
@TryYuzutree48 the Brown edges is so relatable 💔 but thanks ill check at my local target see if i find anything thanks for the tip!
@SWVSA or Walmart any store like that good luck and good night!
@TryYuzutree48 goodnight tysm!!
I give all my humidity lovers “pebble trays” which are just dishes with water and rocks inside. Stick it right underneath your plant’s pot and the humidity increases as the water evaporates! Make sure the pebbles are holding the plant out of the water though.
@Uzi ah okay thank you for the suggestion!
