Leaving out trays or cups of water

Putting a shallow dish of water with pebbles under your plants will help but it’s not the most effective. You could also try getting a small humidifier, there are a few cordless ones on Amazon that are pretty cheap.

I had once heard you can put seashells upside down on top of the soil to catch water and help raise the humidity. I did this with my fiddle leaf fig and umbrella plant. Not sure if it’s helping but it’s definitely not hurting them. I live in the midwest so no shells near me. When I visited family out east I was given a bag of shells from my cousin.
