Yes, stop misting and get a humidifier. There are many many different kinds so you can get a inexpensive one or an expensive one. I have both. Then you won't have to ever mist again 😁😁

I agree with this! Misting doesn’t retain humidity like a humidifier does!

Oh, thanks. Good one! My real issue is the wood floors and walls. Do you have your humidifier in an environment we’re this could be an issue? 🙏🏼

Maybe one of those thin plastic cutting mats? You can hold it like a shield while misting with the other hand

Hmm. Thank you. Great thought! 🙏🏼

The only solution I found was taking the plant to the sink. Which was a lot of extra work.  
Instead I use a humidifier in my bedroom and keep plants that would need one in there. And for one fussier plant not in my bedroom, I use a pebble tray. It’s not as effective as a humidifier but does provide some extra humidity and seems to be working pretty well so far 😊
