I'm new to having plants and I recently got a few varieties: a Chinese money plant, Birds nest fern, monkey mask, prayer plant, Pothos, and Watermelon peperomia. Some of these are supposedly humidity-loving plants, but I'm concerned because my room is intentionally kept at low humidity to protect my music albums. I'm unsure if misting would help my plants or if it's worth it, especially since I've seen a lot of conflicting advice out there. What do you think?

Some folks go for mini greenhouses to keep their humidity-loving plants happy. You know, those little cabinet-like things from IKEA? They can work wonders! But if space is tight, that might not be feasible for you.
Misting can be helpful for plants that enjoy humidity, but it might not be necessary. If you decide to mist, try doing it in the evening since sunlight can amplify water droplets and cause leaf burn. Honestly, getting a humidifier would be a lot easier, but I totally get it if that's not an option for you with your music albums! Good luck with your plants!
