Can calathea get too much humidity?

Due to damage, I have her under a glass cloche, and have misted. The leaves are wet, and I don't want them to rot.

My wooden plant stake has molded, so I took that out.

I am getting ready to leave for 2 weeks so I want to fix anything I can so my husband doesn't freak!

It can get too much humidity if it has lots of water sitting on the leaves a lot without any kind of airflow. My most fool-proof suggestion would be to buy a cheap humidity sensor and try to keep the humidity between 50-80%.
