A grower told me, in lieu of misting which can be hard inside homes, they can be dipped in water and/or a very weak solution of liquid fertilizer for a few minutes then take them out and shake them upside down over the sink to remove the excess moisture. My kids who have theirs inside have been doing this successfully for a while now. Mine are still outside and seemingly healthy.

We have only had a few really cold nights (41) and no freezing - yet. This week has certainly been an anomaly weather wise. it looks like we will have to turn on the AC today. A number of deciduous plants have already sprouted and that could spell disaster if the temps drop too much.
