Winter humidity

If the house humidity will be 30-35% in the winter, the cage is all planted(umbrella, hibiscus, etc), curtain of fake ivy(silk) on one side of the cage, and misting for 10min 2x a day, Do i still need a humidifier? Its an Oustalet's. I would think that the live plants and evaporation from the wet ivy, it would stay at 60% during the day and maybe 45-50% at night.

This is my first live setup (cant do that with beardy's, and yes hes eye balling the setup) and i see people with hosed humidifiers on timers for panthers, but Oustalet's dont have a high humidity requirement like carpets and the other true tropical guys.
 
Maybe you should extend the mist periods. Maybe 4 times for 6 minutes or something like that :) If they don't require a lot of humidity, don't use a humidifier because that just makes it really humid, like 70-80%
