Increasing Humidity for Newly Potted Houseplants - plastic bag over a houseplant being held up by two skewersTo increase humidity, you can use a plastic bag and skewer. The skewer is used to hold the bag up without touching the leaves. If the plastic touches the leaves, it could cause damage to the plant. The plant was being propagated in water and moved into soil. To help the transition into soil, I placed the plant under a plastic bag for up to 2 weeks to increase humidity.

Place two same sized containers together with plant inside to increase humidity for tropical plants. This is a thrifty method instead of buying a humidifier.

Also works for plants that you may purchase online and came from the mail - to help the plants adjust and recover from the transport!
