I guess I'd say that it might be beneficial to read about the species you have and deal with the situation on real terms. Do you actually need a greenhouse for any of the trees you have? Should they be outside during the winter?

And I should take my own advice.

My understanding of my readings and research was yes and this was also equipped with some better lights than I’ve had before. Especially my jades and ponytail need to be inside, most of all.

Humidifier that I purchased.

Why put up a greenhouse for trees that shouldn't be outside during the winter in the first place? Just keep them inside with the lights.

Humidity, draughts, isolating room from moisture, isolating plants from AC, better soil condition, less frequent watering

Just keep them inside with the lights.

That cost some of my plants their lives

I’ve seen legitimate greenhouses for non outside trees such as jades. So? I’m even more confused.

I apologize, lol, the last thing I want to do is to confuse you even more. I'm new to this too, so... my comment was less a suggestion and more of a true question.
I have a Fukien Tea Tree that I don't think could handle Ohio winters, so I keep it inside during the winter, next to a window. I mean, I could construct a little greenhouse, but I enjoy having it inside for a few months out of the year. Seems to do fine this way.

Anyway, I didn't mean to sound negative, if this is the way you want to do it, you should do it.

My hygrometer is reading 38% right now. From what I’ve read, jades do well between 30–50%, but I’d feel better keeping it toward the higher end. It’s been slowly dropping over the past few hours. I’m thinking a humidifier and a fan might help, but I’m still learning and would appreciate any feedback.

As I said, I'm new to this as well and what little horticultural experience I do have doesn't translate very well.
But I'm gonna keep an eye on this post so I can learn too. Wish I could offer some solid advice but.. I can't. Don't know enough yet.

I would not call that a greenhouse and think it is nearly useless for bonsai. You tropicals will get too cold and your temperate plants will roast. Speaking from experience, I had one years ago and it was a disaster.

“Grow tent” to be more specific I guess I learned.
