Where do you live Sue? If you are in TX, should be a lot more humid there than that.
Or are there really dry areas in TX that I don't know about?
Our humidity here fluctuates from very dry to chokingly humid, even day to day.
But mostly we are about 60-70% all summer.
Right now we are probably at 100%.
But at least it is cool.
Vickie, my SPCs have hardly any water over them, and some of them are just growing in wet soil.
I read up on them, and that is how they grow in the wild, along the edges of streams and other bodies of water.
They only get submerged when it rains enough to raise the water line. Once the water drains off, they have just 'wet feet' again.
They tend to creep, if not run, and in my little Baby Doll Planter, they seem to root into the shallow areas, sending runners out as if to find the shallow areas.
I just started another half barrel planter this morning (with one of those shallow barrel liners in it) with a rescued dwarf elephant ear (dark velvet leaves with thick white veining, no label), 2 pinched cuttings of 'Peter's Wonder' coleus, 2 yanked up pieces of Chameleon Plant, a small clump of Silk Stockings, one rooted runner of SPCs, and one tiny Impatien Seedling I found coming up in one of my potted up garden plants from the old house, have no idea what color it will end up blooming.
But all of it is planted in wet soil, no submersion.
Debbie, I'll send you another next year, OK?
Savannah, yup, it's a little beauty!
