Tropical Humidity Kit

High humidity species fail more often from stagnant wet than from dry air. The trick is cycling moisture rather than keeping everything permanently soaked. A fogger or timed mister raises levels on schedule, moss and cork hold a reserve that releases slowly, and a screen top lets stale air escape. Two gauges at different heights tell you what is actually happening inside. Fogging. Moisture Reserve. Timed Misting. Gauges. Airflow. Damp Hardscape.
