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.

I see it all the time when I inspect crawl spaces around Nashville - beautiful encapsulation jobs ruined by mice. These aren't just any mice either. We're talking about determined little creatures that can squeeze through the tiniest gaps and cause thousands in damage once they get in.

Yesterday really showed why quick response matters in this business. I got two urgent calls - one from Bellevue, another from Mount Juliet. Both homeowners had already called other companies and gotten the same answer: "We can't get out there for 2-3 weeks."
