Hello,

You can always place pots on a tray of gravel, (pea stone) that is holding
water. The water
evaporating around the plants increases humidity. There are also ultrasonic
humidifiers that are
very effective in a room.

Use filtered water in an ultrasonic, or they will produce dust in the room.
