It's actually ridiculously humid just in this part of NY state through the summer because of Lake Erie, but winter, nothing doing. Additionally, when I say "in the home," I mean "in my apartment" -- my orchids are on a humidity tray under a grow light in my living room, & I won't be in a place where I can build something like that basement setup any time in the near future.

Vase culture is really interesting, though! That looks worth trying with some smaller varieties that would fit into my space. Fun science experiment at the very least.

stefpix -- how often & for how long do you water the ones you grow in pots?
