I put my monstera in the bathroom for 2 weeks and it grew a whole new leaf, but now I don't know where to put it back
So my monstera was looking sad for like 2 months, no new leaves, some brown tips. My place in Denver is super dry in winter, like 20% humidity. I read somewhere that bathrooms are more humid so I moved it in there on a whim while I was cleaning. Two weeks later, boom, brand new leaf unfurling. But my bathroom has basically no window, just the little light above the sink, so I know it can't live in there forever. Now I don't know if I should get a humidifier for the living room or just accept that my plant will be sad again. Has anyone dealt with this? What actually worked for you?
Have you tried grouping your plants together? My buddy had the same problem in his dry apartment. He put all his tropicals in one corner with a cheap humidifier on a timer and they all perked up. The trick is you don't need the whole room humid, just a little pocket around the plants. Even a tray of pebbles with water under the pot helps a bit. Bathroom light is too weak long term so it would just slowly fade on you.
