Air humidity is measured with a device - a hygrometer.
If the relative humidity of the air is less than 40%, then such air is considered dry, with a relative humidity of more than 70% - damp, and the optimal relative humidity of the air is in the range of 40-70% (on average - 60%).
Why is there dry air in the apartment
The fact is that during the cold season there is less moisture in the street air, and indoor heating further reduces the relative humidity of the air.
In winter, the air humidity in the apartment drops to 15–20% - and this is already a critically low figure.
How to increase humidity in your home without a humidifier
Any container of water can become a humidifier, since water tends to gradually evaporate.
An aquarium is the same container with water.
You need to choose an open aquarium without a lid - closed models are not suitable for our task.
The only drawback is that the aquarium and the fish in it need to be constantly looked after.
One popular way to combat excessively dry air around plants is to place a tray of water and pebbles on the windowsill and place a planter on top.
You can get by with just water, no stones.
The liquid will evaporate from the container and gradually humidify the air around the pot.
Wet towels on the radiator. It will be especially convenient during the heating season.
To do this, you need to hang wet towels on the radiator, as a result, the moisture will evaporate and humidify the apartment.
For a better effect, the towels should be moistened with water from a spray bottle.
