I don't mist anymore. I've found that unless you use a foliar fertilizer, cleaning your leaves, or are spraying for pests, misting doesn't have any benefits for the plant and can even cause rot if the water doesn't evaporate fast enough, and if it evaporates fast enough, it's not raising humidity or really adding any benefit.

I second this!

I’ve also found that monsteras don’t need a huge amount of humidity because mine has managed to thrive in the fairly average humidity of my house

Ok mine honestly has always done well too so I wasn’t sure if misting was necessary. Thanks guys!

When I mist, I put fertilizer in it. Helps with growth. I do it every 3-4 days
