How are y'all doing humidifiers? Everytime I try everything's all wet even on the lowest settings.

I have both of mine next to the plants on a little stand about 12 inches off the ground with nothing above it

I bought one that doesn’t put out a mist to keep my hard water from leaving white dusting all over my surfaces

What’s the name of yours? I have very hard water unfortunately so that sounds great!

Yes that sounds magical!

I got mine from HD, it was pricy but it is big enough for my one plant room and only have to fill it once a week or 10 days and it has an auto sensor so it keeps it at the right humidy without running 24/7. Also got this little temp and humidity monitor that sits near it to help me keep track of if it’s doing its job.

My humidifier is a CVS brand just like yours.  
I plug in into an old school timer so it is not running constantly.
