Ferns Ferns thrive in humid conditions and can help increase humidity around orchids. Some good options include Boston fern, maidenhair fern, and bird's nest fern.
Bromeliads Like orchids, bromeliads are epiphytes that enjoy high humidity. Grouping bromeliads with orchids can create a symbiotic relationship, with both plants benefiting from the increased moisture in the air.
Philodendrons and Pothos These trailing vines are fast growers that release a lot of moisture through their leaves.
Hanging baskets of philodendrons or pothos above orchids can help boost humidity. The plants can also be grown together in the same pot.
Anthurium Anthuriums are tropical plants that thrive in humid environments. Placing them near orchids can help raise humidity levels.
Calathea and Maranta These plants, also known as prayer plants, enjoy high humidity. Their unique foliage adds interest to an orchid collection while helping to increase moisture in the air.
When grouping plants together, make sure to provide adequate air circulation to prevent disease. Space plants out enough to allow good airflow between them. Misting the plants occasionally can also help boost humidity.
