Most house plants who prefer additional humidity (water/moisture in the air) benefit from humidity levels between 40-60 percent. Anything outside that range might cause the following:
Plants native to the tropics are use to such conditions where humidity is high and common. Their thin leaves are created absorb water often versus desert plants who leaves are thick and fleshy to hold water. Therefore, in order to get the most out of these plants as well as make them really happy, adding humidity to the picture is your best option.
A cool mist humidifier definitely get the job done. You’ll need one that does not use so much power, last long, and simple.

Another way of increasing humidity in your home is to set your plant on a humidity tray. You can easily DIY a humidity tray with a plastic tray (terra cotta will absorb water) and pebbles. Place a layer of pebbles in the tray and add water until the pebbles are not covered. As the water evaporates, it will add water to air – humidity.

Spraying plants with a fine mist raises humidity, but only temporary therefore it would have to be done daily. TIP: Plants with “hairy” leaves should not be misted because the water will trap itself on the leaves and encourage diseases.
