Humidity doesn’t really matter. Unless you run a humidifier right next to your plants, it really doesn’t do much. That’s why misting isn’t necessary.

The best way to keep plants watered when you’re gone for awhile is to stick one end of a string or pantyhose into the top of the soil, and the other end in a basin of water above it. Or hire a plant-sitter.

there is also those self watering bulbs you can fill w/ water and insert into the soil and it will water your plant overtime. They are about 3 to 5 dollars at Walmart each.
