Sometimes humidity is very low here where I live and what I do is line
the entire greenhouse (10 x20 foot) with open milk jugs filled with
water. I put them on the south side so the sun heats the water and
during very mild seasons they actually heat the greenhouse at night.

If your greenhouse is not holding humidity, you may not be watering
properly.
