Tip 2

Consider using indoor plants to naturally humidify the air in your apartment. Plants go through a process called transpiration, during which they release moisture into the air. Certain plants, such as peace lilies, Boston ferns, and areca palms, are particularly effective at increasing humidity.

Tip 3

Another option for humidifying the air in your apartment while the heaters are running is to use the "wet heat" method. To do this, you need to put heat-resistant containers or pallets on the heaters and fill them with water. As they heat up, the heaters will gradually heat the water, causing it to evaporate and humidify the surrounding air.
