If you don't have them and you don't want to buy them, no problem.Just put a glass or a container with water on the radiator.Water must be changed once a day.If you have a stove, put a small pot with water.These methods only have a few minutes, but they are ideal to achieve adequate moisture.
Finally, at least once a day, you should open the windows for a while.Ventilate the house in all rooms is very important, both for the level of humidity and to change the air, which can often be vitiated in a closed environment.
