It should enjoy humidity. It's the dryness during the winter you should be concerned about with many plants, but this is a hardy enough plant, so I wouldn't worry either way.

You could be overwatering it. As I said, let the soil dry out between watering...see what happens. Don't be afraid to stick you finger in there.

This is a kind of plant that may do well with a bit of neglect. Have you been coddling it? Smothering it? Give it some space, man.
