Adding Humidity Outside

Hello! For the first time ever I'm trying the whole "move your inside plants outside" thing and put my biggest snake on my front porch. Its leaves are cracking, and I'm guessing it is due to humidity. And ideas on how to increase outside humidity without creating a mosquito breeding ground? Or should I bring it in and put it by a humidifier at night? Or maybe bring it in for another month?

Can you post a picture of the cracking?
Mine has done amazing since moving it outside! I would imagine since they like to dry out between waterings, mosquitos shouldn’t be a huge issue? I’m in South Texas and don’t feel like there’s been an increase in mosquito activity since bringing the plants back out.
@Kpow85 I'm not worried about mosquitoes in the plant, but usually to increase humidity you do a pebble tray or other type of standing water and that's what I'm worried about becoming a breeding ground ðŸĨī
@RJG found it!
@RJG I also wondered about the cold. I've been bringing it in if the nights get below 50⁰ but maybe I should keep it in if it's under 60⁰?
@PlantMompy I put mine outside when it was still getting in the 40s so I don't think so.
@RJG that makes me feel like a better plant parent, but doesn't help with what I might be 😂😂
we may both be right. please don't judge my research skills
@RJG I Google lens all the time 😂

Maybe I'll mark the cracks, then I'll know if they get worse or more....
@sarahsalith welcome to the conversation 😂
@PlantMompy or if they happen on a windy night?
@RJG ohhh ðŸĪ”
