Any suggestions?

We purchased these humidifiers and over time, it left a film on everything in the room after a single day or two (even with cleaning it) and so we quit using them.

Does anyone have a suggestion on how to raise humidity for my plants (I'm planning to try pebble trays but I've heard they're decently inefficient) and I do group my plants together pretty tightly, but some of my alocasions have gotten crispy on the edges a bit after stopping the humidifiers, and was wondering what the best humidifiers y'all have found/used that do not leave a film on everything in the house.

(I don't have anywhere to put a humidity cabinet for the alocasias either, some of mine are big 🥲)

TIA!
