Humidity Domes

To ensure the healthy growth of plants, you need to consider a number of factors. These factors include lighting, temperature, water, and humidity. While we can use heat mats and grow lights to maintain the optimal conditions for plants, humidity domes come into play to achieve suitable levels of humidity.  

The Purpose of Humidity Domes 

Many amateur growers do not know about humidity domes, which are an effective tool for maintaining suitable humidity levels for plant growth. In the propagation system, this tool plays a very important role. One needs to integrate them to enjoy desired results. 

When you place the propagation tray on the heat mat, you place the humidity dome above it. This tool ensures that the seedlings are exposed to the right amount of moisture. It aids a seedling or clone’s ability to absorb moisture for adequate growth. They need a humidity level of about 75%.  

Using Humidity Domes 

Many growers struggle with the usage of humidity domes, which makes them skeptical about using this powerful tool. If you are wondering as to how long a humidity dome has to be placed above the tray, the answer is five to seven days. After this time period, you have to begin opening up the vents. The air that seeps inside the dome will then aid the development. After two weeks, you can expect to see a dense root.

When you observe this, make sure you reduce the humidity levels to 50%. The experts at Groindoor.com help you make the right decisions if you are struggling with choosing the best tools. To aid the propagation phase, choose a plant cloning kit or complete seedling starter kit
