Advice on Humidifiers

Hi,
I'm really new to gardening being fairly young and all. I'm trying my hand at growing some vegetables in pots in our conservatory: tomato, aubergine, red pepper and chilli plants.
I also germinated some Morning Glory seeds in a basic unheated propagator and I already have seedlings within 3 days.
They all seem to be doing pretty well but I was wondering they would benefit from a humidifier. Which models would you recommend? Looking for something thats fairly inexpensive around £40-£50.
Many thanks!

I am not quite sure why you came to the conclusion that you might need a humidifier?
Yes there are certain seeds that benefit from a humid enviroment to germinate but if you are only doing enough plants to feed a family then a bit of clingfilm over the pot with an elastic band is enough and free (curtesy of my postwoman!) to germinate a lot prior to pricking out and potting on.
If you need to increase the growing humidity of the plants then place your pot on a tray of pebbles and water the pebbles, again costs relatively nothing.
Also my worry about a humidifier in a consevartory would be damp and drippy ceilings etc. Not a pleasent enviroment to sit in!!
If you feel the need though Argos has this for £37.99.Greyer by the minute - Older by the hour - Wiser by the day0
