Hey all, i was wondering if anyone has ever tried using a pond/pool fountain in a greenhouse to increase humidity? i was thinking about it, and if i used a lower capacity, small, solar pond fountain, that it should increase the humidity, and because it would run on solar power, it would only be on when the sun is bright, which is when I need to increase humidity. any thoughts anyone?? would this cause mold at night (even tho it wouldnt be on at night)?? thanks, *EQL*

What size is your greenhouse?

A friend of mine had a BIG greenhouse (she's a teacher and it was the school one) Duuno exactly how big it was, but big. She had a huge pond with Koi in it in there with a sort of fountain in it. It seemed to work out real well, as before it got installed it was much harder to keep everything watered well enough
Size DOES matter in this case tho, as does ventilation, with the right venting it should be fairly beneficial I'd imagine
Also, lots of local garden centres have indoor pond/water feature thingies in their "houseplants" section and it seems to be helpful there, too

so as much as I hate to bring up a topic as old as 2007, I would like to raise discussion. I agree that a pond inside a greenhouse will raise humidity.. but what about in the winter, with temperate plants that desire a cold? Will the humidity effect the dormant stage? I dont greenhouse my pond during the warmer months, but do so durning the winter, so the effects of greenhouse humidity will only be felt during winter.
Any thoughts? Or shall I be the first to study some temperate plants in my greenhouse over winter?
