I mist my plants every week like it says to but the water is getting on the wood that my plants are on and ruining it any tips?

Ok thanks but do I keep the humidifier on the whole time or what?

I use a hygrometer to measure humidity. I don’t like to let the room get over 60% so there’s no mold or furniture damage.

Oh wow! Try misting toward an open window or mist it over the bathtub. As for fixing wood damage I wish I can recommended rub walnut over it or use an oil base for wood to give a finished look but I won’t know it would work. Good luck!

I wipe the surfaces after misting.
