Has anyone grown helis in highland / intermediate conditions without high humidity? With any success?

I tried it with a minor. It tolerated it somewhat. It wasn't room humidity but very low. It stayed alive but it was quite obvious it hated life
If I was ever going to try it I again I suppose a more common hybrid would be my choice a x minor or something containing it.
Even of it tolerates it I don't think it will grow well especially if it's a bigger division.
I have heard of other growers dropping to 50% during the day with success with nutans, minor or hybrids thereof but I definitely wouldn't try it with some of the rarer species they don't all grow the same and some are down right fussy even in optimal conditions

Acclimation is harder than growing in lower humidity.
Proper acclimation is more important. If your at 60% they will probably be fine as long as it's relatively high during the night.
It takes me a few months sometimes to aclimate a heli from AW. It depends how rough shipping was on the plant. And how intact and How damaged the root system is
