First before you do anything else, throw that green moldy crap in the trash.
Next, buy a couple Boveda packs, can get 2 65% packs shipped for under ten bucks. Or order some HF beads. Bovedas are 100% foolproof though. (And can be recharged)
Bovedas can sit right on your cigars or you can get a holder for the lid of your humidor.
Personally, I have a nylon sleeve with a half pound or so of HF beads, and 2 Bovedas in my desktop. I've recharged the beads once or twice and the Bovedas have been fine for over a year. They absorb any overcharge on the beads.
I can't see any reason to use anything else. Especially not the floral foam mold factories.
In my large hybrid humidors (basically like a coolidor or giant tupperdor) I have a pound of HF beads or more, and 4-6 Bovedas. Same deal, recharge (overcharge) the beads, and the Bovedas recharge from that.
I have hygrometers in all, but dont trust them as much as I trust the Bovedas and beads. Unless its reading 50 or 80, no intervention required
