Is this humidity a cause for concern?

I've been noticing recently that the humidity in Spooble's enclosure is hovering in the low 50s% range. But...I've also noticed that the plant next to my hygrometer is growing more too...He is shedding, and I don't want to make it harder for him due to a humid environment. I do have a PC fan for extra air flow so he won't develop an RI.
Here's what the placement looks like:

I suppose I'm now wondering: Is it the basking area that we look to control more? Do the pockets of higher humidity near plants affect things much?

From what I understand, the major concern is mold growth. Mold grows well in a combination of high humidity (above 60%), and with temperatures between 70°F and 90°F (21°C to 32°C). This is why we aim to dry out the cage as much as possible during the day with the higher heat and lower humidity.

I hang my heat/hydro probe around the basking area, because that's where they spend most their time.

Mold grows in and often prefers cooler temps and low air exchange, but really you’ll find it everywhere. Mold isn’t the only concern, the main issue is just the environment that mold thrives in (doesn’t often exchange air quickly). This gives bacteria/fungi a place to easily grow and you end up with respiratory infections.

My opinion is that the humidity isn’t an issue if your enclosure has good air exchange. I’ve never had issues with this philosophy.

I have a probe at the basking, and had that temp/humidity gauge out in the open for some time (for ambient temp and upper humidity measurements) but the plant nearby just grew so well lol
This does ease my mind, though, thank you both.
I do keep air flowing with a pc fan, and my dehumidifier that I run for several hours a day too, so he's probably fine in there.
