An optimum internal room temperature combined with the sufficient levels of humidity allows for healthy plant growth. Low humidity levels can stress out plants, causing growth to slow down or even stop completely. It is particularly the case for relative humidity below 30%. Remember, regulating the air humidity in greenhouses is crucial to optimise plantation’ growth and yield.
The correct air humidity also plays a decisive role when it comes to the freshness and shelf life of natural products.
