When ever you get the chance move them into your bathroom or kitchen – even if it’s just for a couple of hours – they will soon look better and perk up.

Failing that soak a cloths in water, and when they are wet/damp, put them underneath the pots your plants are in, so the roots can soak up the water, and the warmth in your house will make some of the water from the cloths evaporate, creating a bit of humidity.

The tropics were your plants originate from are pretty damp/humid at certain times of the day.

made the mistake of putting ALL OF my plants out the other day
and forgot that one said not to
some tropicals "are really in shade" / but have bright indirect light
