Humidity
Apart from shade, these plants also need high humidity in atmosphere. High humidity should not be confused with excessive watering of plants. Air in summer and monsoon season is normally more humid than in winter. Air conditioned places too are very dry and prevent healthy growth of shade loving plants. As the humid air is heavier than dry air, a humid micro-atmosphere is created around the plants by using the above methods - provided the fan or harsh breeze do not disturb this micro-atmosphere. Due to lack of humidity leaves of certain plants will bend downwards or may get brown dried edges. |
