Humidity Control in Indoor Gardens

Humidity is a fundamental, yet often overlooked, factor in creating a thriving indoor garden. Whether you're growing vegetables, herbs, or ornamental plants, maintaining the right humidity level is essential for optimal plant health, growth, and yield. Humidity directly affects how plants absorb water and nutrients, as well as their ability to carry out photosynthesis efficiently. In an indoor setting, where environmental conditions are tightly controlled, the balance of humidity becomes even more crucial.


Too little humidity can cause plants to dry out, leading to slow growth, wilting, and poor nutrient uptake. On the other hand, excessive humidity encourages mold, mildew, and pests, all of which can stunt growth and reduce overall yields. In this blog, we’ll explore how humidity influences every aspect of indoor plant health and offer practical tips on how to maintain the ideal humidity levels for a bountiful and healthy indoor garden.

If you've had your crawl space encapsulated, you might think you're all set. Nice sealed space, moisture controlled, everything protected. But here's something most
