Hi,

I would say get a good humidifier with a humidistat.  If you have a bucket, nearly all 
the water will still be there at the end of the day doing little good.  The same goes for 
plants, the water needs to be in the air.   My humidifier puts out several pints of water 
per day to keep the right level in winter when the heating is on.
