Some means of increasing the humidity should be used. The best way is to use a home or room humidifier. Be sure to syringe plants early in the day to allow the leaf surface to dry. Leaf disease can develop if the leaf surface remains wet overnight. High humidity areas such as bathrooms and kitchens often are ideal for plants.
Containers When potting plants use containers with drainage holes.
If necessary, to prevent media loss, cover holes with a coarse piece of window screen. Both plastic or clay pots are available. Media in clay pots dries out faster than in plastic pots, so people who tend to overwater should use clay pots, although that is not a cure-all for incorrect watering. Clay pots are more difficult to clean than plastic pots because clay absorbs chemicals and salts. To clean pots, soak them in very hot water for 24 hours.
