My propagating station disaster last weekend

I put 12 cuttings in my DIY humidity dome and woke up to full on mold on 8 of them. Lost a variegated monstera cutting I'd been waiting 3 months to get, what do you use to keep airflow without drying everything out?

Used to think more air movement would just dry stuff out and kill my humidity, but yeah that mold hits hard and changes your mind quick. Have you tried a tiny USB fan on the lowest setting just barely aiming at the dome?

I run a 60mm USB fan on medium pointed at the wall near my propagation dome so it bounces the air around without hitting the plants directly. Keeps the humidity around 80% in there but stops any stagnant spots where mold loves to start. Took me a few tries to get that distance right though, too close and the leaves start curling from the breeze.
