Whether you have a few beloved plants or an entire grow tent, a humidifier will help keep your plants happy and healthy. Here are our top picks for the humidifiers you and your plants will love.
The ultrasonic NOVA has an amazing output and all the settings you could ever want on a humidifier:
Timer – You can select how many hours you want your NOVA to run.
Humidistat – The adjustable humidistat lets you set and hold your desired humidity level.
Temperature Display – A quick glance at the NOVA’s large display lets you easily see your plant room’s humidity level and temperature.
Remote Control – Easily adjust your settings on the unit or with the remote.
LED Multicolor Nightlight – The top of the NOVA glows with many soft, soothing colors for you and your plants. You can also turn off the nightlight.
The NOVA covers up to 750 square feet. It’s filter free, so you won't need to use a filter or wick to get humidity. Just pour water in the top, turn the NOVA on, and watch the mist appear. You can also add essential oils directly to the water.
There are a few drop-shaped humidifiers around, but the AURORA has them all beat on both function and features:
Adjustable Nozzle – Turn the top to direct the mist where it’s most needed.
Demineralization Cartridge – The AURORA includes a demineralization cartridge to filter out minerals in your water for a cleaner mist and no white dust (which is sometimes left behind when minerals are present in your water).
LED Multicolor Nightlight – The AURORA cycles through six lovely and lively colors. You can also pause it on your favorite color, or turn off the nightlight completely.
Essential Oil Diffuser - Add your favorite essential oils to the diffuser tray for instant aromatherapy in your plant room.
The ultrasonic AURORA covers up to 750 square feet. It has a removable tank that’s easy to fill at your sink (the AURORA’s power light glows red when it’s ready for a refill). For tight spaces, check out the smaller AURORAmini.
We love how the MESA’s rich wood-tone finish blends seamlessly into a plant room. It’s also rich on features:
Warm and Cool Mist – With the MESA, you get two mist temperatures in one gorgeous humidifier.
Nightlight Base – The MESA’s base glows a beautiful blue when you turn on the nightlight.
Adjustable Mist Direction – The MESA’s top spins so you can adjust the mist direction toward the plants that need it most.
Remote Control – You can quickly control your settings from across the room.
Like the AURORA, the ultrasonic MESA includes a demineralization cartridge and can be used with or without essential oils. It covers up to 750 square feet and has a removable tank for easy refills.
For large grow rooms and grow tents, the Space Saver series is unbeatable. Both the 831000 (shown) and the 836000HB models have features every serious grower needs:
Humidistat – Simply set your desired humidity level and fan level and the Space Saver will do the rest.
Large Capacity – The Space Saver hold six gallons of water (and has rollers so you can easily move the unit when it’s full).
Long Run Time – You'll get up to 70 hours of run time per fill, which means less frequent refills.
Pour-in Reservoir – There are no tanks to lift out. Just pour water directly into the reservoir through the louvers on the front of the unit.
The Space Saver models are evaporative units, so you won’t actually see the mist, but you and your plants will definitely feel the moisture in your air. The 836000HB covers up to 2300 square feet, and the 831000 covers up to 2700 square feet. True to their name, the Space Savers have a small footprint, so you can get multiple units for larger spaces. These models use the AIRCARE 1043 Super Wick® and your first one is included.
The MA0800 Mini-Console is another great evaporative model for large plant rooms and grow tents. It holds 2.5 gallons and runs up to 36 hours per fill. The Mini-Console has other features plant growers will love:
Humidistat - This is another humidifier that allows you to set your desired humidity level. The humidifier will keep your space at the level you choose.
Auto Setting - A great feature that lets the humidifier automatically choose the fan speed needed to keep your space at your desired humidity level.
Refill Indicator - This lets you know with a glance if the Mini-Console needs a refill.
Demineralization Cartridge - This unit includes both a wicking filter and a demineralization cartridge to keep your air cleaner.
The Mini-Console covers up to 2600 square feet. If you need more coverage, then check out the larger MA1201 Console. It has the same great features, and covers up to 3600 square feet. Both models use wicking filters and include demineralization cartridges.
