Amen, Billy. A lot of people think occasional misting will make up for
dry indoor air. It doesn't. All it does is create a fine layer of
moisture which is perfect for developing bacteria and mold.

I mist the tree as well....

Please don't. That tends to keep the top of the soil wet and the
lower area where the roots are too dry. I did a post mortem and another
Ficus for a coworker over the weekend. It was being misted. The top
1/3 of the soil was very wet, the next 1/3 was bone dry, and the bottom
1/3 was damp. The tree was dead.
