Sometimes the simplest of species can be among the most enjoyable to have around. :)

This is my set up. It's metal shelf with Mylar surrounding with grow light. The tray is filed with water and there are 48 pots.

Very nice. You could always try the tray method + a cool mist humidifier.

I have a warm mist humidifier set up but I try and not run it to much in the summer months since my house gets well into the 90s

From my experience most common sundews do not need added humidity, unless you're in a desert which you aren't. I grow mine as seedlings at ambient household humidity levels, and once they get a few true leaves outside they go. Some I've even germinated outside in Northeast Ohio.
