Reed Humidity

Just how humid does a reed need to be? Was keeping in canning jar with water on beads so humid but not wet, then in jar with a half inch of 25% Listerine with thick part sitting in water. Occasionally dip in hydrogen peroxide.
Read on this forum about plastic bag so put some in zip-lock bag and breathed in it and sealed. Humidity measures 99% on an Acurite humidity/temperature meter.
Does anyone find their reeds turn black or dark color and if so what do you do if anything? I thought it might be mold or fungus or bacteria which is reason for Listerine or peroxide.
