Great video! So needed for Winter coming!🥰

Thanks for the explanations and information, Jeff. I really like the size of your recommended model which is the one I’ll be getting.

Thanks for the info!!! I’ll definitely be ordering one 💚

I have the Lēvoit humidifier just like yours, but not the ‘s’ model. I’ve had it so long, they didn’t sell the smart version. It’s my favorite of all humidifiers I own. The night button is so nice because it blacks out the display completely. I love sleeping in total darkness! 🎃

Its important to know that you can wash the humidifier water compartment. They can get nasty with buildup stuff. My humidifiers are accessible for cleaning the interior. Some humidifiers are cool or warm water humidifiers. You didn't mention that. If you have lots of plants in one room, with some not tropical or needing much humidity, then how do you control it? Also adding a water conditioner like what you use in a fish tank to the water keps the water from getting algae. It also helps feed your plants especially if they are growing in leca as mine all are. I use API from the fish department at PetSmart or on line. I use it in my birdbaths too. Thank you for the info .😊

Thank you, Sir! Very informative!

Good video! Have you seen Gardening in Canada's video on vapor pressure? A lot to digest, but basically, plants that want high humidity want higher temps as well. It helped me understand that at 68F inside my house in the winter, my ambient humidity of 50-60% is plenty high. Seattle may be grey in winter, but it's also plenty humid 💦

Thanks Jeff

Thx..I was wondering about that

instantly subscribed for the biological background to why humidity is important ! Awesome ☺

thanks for the info on the jade. I keep my jade in a high-ish humidity situation. I have an ikea cabinet that I converted to a little mini greenhouse. The humidity is about 68 on the top shelf...and lower on the bottom shelf...so, perhaps I will move it down to the bottom.

I was wishfully hoping you’d say they’re not needed! Ha. I have a 5.5 gallon humidifier that works pretty well to keep my living room at 50~%. The smaller humidifiers I have in my office only keeps the general area around it at 50%. I do live in a very dry place though. I think my plants are acclimated to this humidity.

Which plants prefer higher humidity? How humid do different types of plant need?

Very informative 😊

I got an alert to add water to my humidifier. Then this was in my recommended, despite having watched it like 6 times. So here I am again 😬

Lol I literally filled up my water at the tap this morning before I checked KZfaq... I have well water and have always just used tap water in any humidifier, I don't find the white dust overly annoying as long as I don't let it build up for a long time. Considering that distilled water is like 2 dollars for 4l and the labor levoit humidifier takes 6l that would add up really fast esp when it's more for plants and not next to say a baby with a cold... After covid happened and people were buying all the water etc I realized that so many ppl who NEEDED distilled water for medical equipment couldn't get it and that just seemed scary and a bit selfish for me to buy it for plants. Obviously everyone is different and so is tap water quality but that's been a choice I made during the water shortages. People need it for CPAP and feeding tubes and other things (which is why the pharmacy here also has it) so I just buy it when my containers no longer can be used. I bought the levoit that you recommended and the only "complaint" I have about this specific model is that the must flow only goes on one way so I can't set it to shoot in two directions,I also would've liked the option of warm mist but this one was about 35 dollars less and holds the same amount of water and doesn't take up as much space so I went with it anyway. I have heard that warm mist ones aren't as beneficial as an actual hot vaporizer for treating colds etc anyway so it seemed like if that's an issue for me I can go buy the hot Vicks brand one if needed 🤷🏼‍♀️ One thing I noticed on the two days I've had it is that my birds are already less dusty and not itching like they were. The humidity has dropped 15 percent with the weather and dried out my skin and my birds, so it's good that it's not just plants benefitting!

Does the humidifiers cause moisture on the floor? Do plants need to be on rug or something to prevent moisture on laminate floors?

I have a plant shop in my city that the whole shop literally Like stepping in to a jungle Moisture and is on every every single plant

Have you ever tried those hard water filters that you just drop into the reservoir? They're always recommended on Amazon to buy with it. They claim to help with the white dust but I get lots of yellow residue from the well water (safe to drink just very high minerals) wonder if those things actually do anything 🤔

I really wanted to use a ultrasonic model, but I don't think it is safe to run these unless you use distilled water. Filtered helps some, but it does not remove many of the minerals and other impurities you don't want to breathe after it's been vaporized. It might appear fine using a filter, but from everything I've read it's just not safe, so buyer beware. I went with an evaporative model for this reason.

How’s the Levoit noise wise? You mentioned that the round one is quiet, I need quiet in my office area but I certainly see the benefits of the Levoit one.

so are you using just filtered water or filtered-distilled water?

Good morning 🙂 I worry about mold .what are your feelings on peebles trays?

One thing to be aware of with these crappy levoit Ultrasonic Humidifiers is white dust , it goes everywhere , it was stuck to my walls , furniture , TV , got inside my gaming computer and stuck to my windows , I used filtered water in it and cleaned it weekly and it was awful , I ended up changing it for a Honeywell evaperative model with no white dust what so ever and can cover a much larger distance.

There was an advertisement during your video about the Levoit Oasis. Do you know anything about this model?

Will you give more info on your water filter?

How often should the humidifier be on ? And I'm in a situation Where I'm trying to find a mid range level where I can provide The high humidity loving plants And low humidity plants In a safe range with out over humididifingy the low humidity plants

Can u use a humidifier that blows hott,,like the vicks humidifier???

I got my first plant so im def gonna increase the humidity in my room but as you said: low humidity causes brown edges on the leaves. Will increasin the humidity fix that or do i need to do more things? I have a zebra plant and i water it twice a week, Ive heard some people say it has to be waterered nearly every day instead of just twice a week so im kinda confused. I'd really appreciate it if you could help me out.

I have a room that has high humidity but not great light. The room that has great light I don’t want the (bedroom) humidity.

😊

How long do you run your humidifier for daily

My mom said that when I was a kid we had a humidifier ,but we were sick more often when it was being used , do you know anything about this? I live in the same city as you so we should have similar conditions indoors unless you are using a humidifier because currently I am not using one.

Thanks Jeff
