Rina,

What sort of plant are we talking about?

What's humidex?

Generally speaking high humidity should be helpful rather than the reverse, but ~100 *F is not good. Unless this is a houseplant that will "chill out" inside over the summer, I think you'd be better off waiting until fall or early next spring.

thank you. Humidex is 'only' about 97, but actually it is still nice in the shade. It is ficus benjamina, Al answered on House plants forum.
I decided to do it - slowly getting there...OMG, what a job! roots everywhere, every which way (but right?!)
Thanks again, I appreciate any input.
And again,I appologize for cross-posting...I guess I am too eager!

BTW, I follow up on your posts too, trying to learn.

Rina
