Plants and Humidity

[AZweifel]

I just added a large Golden Pathos plant to my terrium for my 3 month old panther. I was under the impression it would help keep humidity levels up, but ever since I got it, the humidity is lower than usual.
I water the plant regularly, and the soil is moist. And I mist the enclosure 3 times a day. (I listed it twice as much today because the humidity kept dropping).
What is happening and how can I fix it?

If you did nothing to anything but the misting schedule then there is nothing I can think of. Unless there is some sort of air circulation (HVAC, portable fan, dehumidifier possibly) that just turned on or was put near the cage. You can up humidity levels by putting some tarp over all or most sides of the cage. Is the cage against a wall?

That's very odd, usually plants will help your levels, not lower them. Make sure nothing came on in the house as @etclement to effect the humidity levels

No other conditions were changed; no fans or humidifiers. The enclosure is 100% screen, with only one side against a wall, but it is about 3 inches from it. I soaked the plant tonight, so I'm hoping the humidity will be more stable tomorrow?

I have a glass cage and i find that humidity stays around 50-60% and i mist twice a day with a screen cage you might need a couple more smaller plants

Huh. My cage is pretty much fully planted except for the basking spot but is near a vent (temporarily) so I have problems with humidity. Try adding another plant or the tarps. Soaking the plant won't do as much as adding another or a good misting.
