You are misting with tepid water, just as for watering? The spray
should be more a cloud than a spray, if that makes sense. I also
wonder if it would be worth trying spraying every other day, or
spraying every day but very lightly, for half your plants, to see if
it makes a difference. They want humidity, not wet. (Sorry, I'm sure
you know all this at least as well as I do, but no harm in checking).

I'm hopelessly inefficient, and when I had them they often had to
rely on just the pebble-tray for a humid atmosphere for quite a
while: it didn't seem to do them any harm by my low standards.
