If the air humidity in the room is not very high, then you can place a cuvette filled with water next to it. It is placed next to the pot, but is not used as a pallet. So throughout the day the water will evaporate, and thus the humidity will rise. It is better not to plant the plant on the south side - the flower will feel a constant discomfort.
