Set pans of water around your house to evaporate.

Pebble trays filled with water set under your pot can help, just make sure the pot isn’t actually sitting in water but on top of the rocks

These are great too! You see them a lot with bonsai

Ypu can also use a fine mister on just the plants that like humidity. My place is humid so running the humidifier is a bit much for my lungs. I use the "continuous misters" so I don't have to keep pumping, and its a super fine mist.
