It made leaves that were waxier and a little thicker so the Paph. sanderianum may adapt too.

It sounds like you are indeed getting a benefit from having all those plants together. If you do notice that your plants are having trouble and you decide to go the humidifier route, my advice would be to run it only during the day. I don't have personal experience to back this up, but I have read in several places that running the humidifier at night when the temperatures drop increases your chances of mold/fungus, rot, and the like.

Let us know what you decide to do, and how it goes!
