How much humidity does black-eyed susan vine need?
What actually works
If tips do start browning, group black-eyed susan vine with other plants or move it away from radiators and draughts. A pebble tray helps a little; a small humidifier helps a lot. Neither is needed unless the plant is telling you it is dry.
