I would take a lil' easier on the humidity there, specially on the winter, since there is not enough sun heat to dry it...
Besides the few yellow and dried leaves there, it looks like a healthy tree... It's normal for a ficus to loose some leaves on the winter due to the reduced light, even more when indoors... (And even more where you live, because here we don't even need to put ficus trees indoors at winter)

However that white could be fungus (I'm not saying it is), if you suspect that this came from the humidifier, turn it of and see if the whiteing persists...

The tree does not sit wet, those pictures are like that because i just misted the tree. It's dry by now. As for the white stuff you noticed, I strongly believe it is coming from the tap water since where I live, tap water seems to be really heavy with salt and such. But, I'll keep an eye on it to ensure it is not fungus. I know it's kinda normal for it to turn some yellow leaves, but a drastic amount fell plus they also had brownish?

Minerals in the water can make whitish residue on the leafs and soil from spraying and watering. Will get off by Rain once it is outside in summer. Salt can give the tree same looking residue. Difference is that minerals is no harm, salt is. If you really have salt in your water, start collecting Rain water or snow for watering.

Not a linguist but afaik salts are minerals, and most minerals in water, are salts.

Well. I am not a linguistic eighter:). I was refering to nacl.

Checking Wikipedias complete list of minerals, I cannot find many minerals that can exist in a desolved form in water. Most of them that can are metall ions. But that is psudodiscussion and dont add anything in this thread :)
