During the winter I have a tough time as well keeping the humidity up. I might have to look into a mister or humidfier system just to keep it up. Misting 3-4 times a day is hard if you are not around as often as you would like.
I have read about from respected breeders that you should buy Long Fibered Spahgnum Moss and decent amount (2-3" deep) in the hide. Keep this moist, not drenched as it retains water pretty well. I have this in my hide and my little one loves it! It keeps the humidity in the hide to 80-90% for awhile. Check it and then mist it again if it seems to dry out.
As for the rest of your enclosure I would try to use a plexiglass or some kind of cover to retain moisture. I lost any humidity I added without one.
I hope this helps.
