We don’t have much rivers around here (besides the Columbia, which is still a bit far). Maybe I’ll collect some rocks if I’m near a river.

You can also buy river rock at stores. I found some at Home Depot and I'm sure you could find it at other places like Lowe's, Steins, and other garden and hardware stores. I think that is what @Dragonslayer126 means.

@optique, I could’ve done that, but we already have a few ultrasonic humidifiers. It also seems like a little to much for two plants

Ive grown mushrooms before using those cheap usb humidifier, the donut shape one thay floats on top of water, its humid enough for mushrooms to grow.

I put an ultrasonic humidifier in my room to try and raise the humidity for all my plants. Hopefully it’ll work. My room is already starting to get foggy. Don’t know if that’s good.

What's the humidity set to? I just set mine to 70 for 8 hours when I go to bed and thats it cause it's usually always atleast 50% humidity. When I had it really close to my table and when it was at 80 all day it started to grow mold, so make sure that you have it atleast 2ft away from the table cause it might grow mold if you don't.

I just turned it on and left it. I need to buy a hygrometer for my room.
