How to Make a Homemade Greenhouse Humidifier: It's Very Simple

A greenhouse is a room in which a certain level of air humidity must be constantly maintained.

The optimal indicator depends on what plants are in the greenhouse.

However, most often the summer resident should strive for a value of 50-60 percent.

If the humidity level drops, the plants may dry out. In such conditions, you can forget about a good harvest.

How is the desired indicator usually achieved? The best way is to use special devices.

However, not all summer residents can afford to purchase equipment to control air humidity levels.

However, don't give up. Any gardener can easily make a humidifier on their own. You'll need simple plastic containers.

Stages of creating a humidifier

You need to take several plastic bottles of different sizes and cut off the top of each of them.

You need to pour plain water into the remaining “cups”.

Filled containers should simply be placed in different parts of the greenhouse. As a result, enough moisture will enter the air.

However, you should not overdo it with the number of plastic containers and the volume of liquid used: if the humidity level in the greenhouse becomes too high, the plants will become vulnerable to various diseases (primarily fungal diseases).
