Many indoor plants require a certain level of humidity to thrive. And while that's usually not a problem for a tropical country like the Philippines, some spaces tend to have dry air because of strong air conditioning or a lack of proper ventilation—definitely not good news for your fragile greens. So in case you're planning to have your own lush indoor jungle, investing in a good humidifier is something worth considering. Just ask any experienced plant parent!
