This Vornado Fan may turn out to be a terrific pollinator. I bought it for my bathroom. But it isn't powerful enough for my needs there. So I decided to try this pollinating the Farms. It oscillates, and the lower setting I think will work great. flic.kr/p/2miFduJ |

They are good fans. We have a few of them here.

Sorry folks. I have to retract my statements here. Even the low setting is too strong up close as in the video. I was getting too many dropped blooms.

Oh No... They are great fans, I guess just not good for plants.
I have this tiny (usb cord or battery) Honeywell I sit on the deck or in front of mine if needed, |

I'm trying moving it back a bit. We'll see.

I stopped using it. It's more of a hassle.

Sorry folks. I have to retract my statements here. Even the low setting is too strong up close as in the video. I was getting too many dropped blooms. This little handheld portable fan might do the trick. I use a similar one made by Geek Aire for pollination from time to time, though I usually just shake the plants. (My plants don't get much coddling.) The Geek Aire has 5 speed settings, starting with one that's very gentle. I can't vouch for the durability, because I don't use it a lot. My fan doesn't have a cell phone connection like this one. In my experience, the generic Chinese items that look the same also perform the same, though you can never be quite sure what you're getting. www.amazon.com/HandFan-Portable-Rechargeable-Handheld-Charging/dp/B06XW4P6X2/I checked, and my Geek Aire is no longer available. This one is probably the closest match to mine, and it has good reviews. www.amazon.com/HoMedics-TotalComfort-Rechargeable-Handheld-Fan/dp/B07X7H5L87/ |
