Season Winter Duration 6 wks Risk high
Daily misting failure
No durable improvement. Leaf surfaces looked better briefly after spraying, but edge crisping and decline pattern stayed functionally unchanged.
Experiments
Measured yard tests and failure logs
The experiment collection distinguishes interventions, outcomes, duration, and confidence notes so recommendations can point back to evidence.
Collection entries
Season Winter Duration 8 wks Risk watch
Humidity tray baseline
Slight reduction in edge crisping, but the bigger improvement came from more even watering and less afternoon heat exposure.
Season Summer Duration 10 wks Risk low
Mulch versus bare soil in a shade bed
The mulched zone held moisture longer and required fewer recovery waterings, with better frond density by the end of the test period.
