Humidification

snip.....I want to use the least maintenance and steady humidification process that I could get.

IMHO, this is exactly why beads out perform most other types of humidification devices. If you place a sufficient amount of beads in the humi to allow for both absorption and release of humidity you have it made. This is where bricks/floral foam/gel, all lose out....they have no ability to absorb excess RH, only to release it.

Beads are relatively inexpensive and last forever, and require only distilled H20 to function.
