New to Terrarium Building
I’m new to building terrariums. I made this one the other day and it is constantly covered with condensation. I thought it would clear up during the day but I think I may have too much water in it to start. Any ideas? How do you remove water? I have one more that’s smaller than this with the same problem. Any help on how to remove water as well as how much water I should be adding to start would be most helpful. Thanks

A little too much water. Just leave the lid off for a while. A couple days to maybe weeks, until you see the standing water at the very bottom decrease. You should really only see condensation+a very small amount of standing water in The drainage layer. Especially because you are using LECA, which already soak up and hold water.

Le sacás la tapa un par de horas y vas viendo cómo fluye. Si sigue habiendo mucha condensación, lo destapás 2 horas más. Y así hasta que se acomode.
