dont think perlite humidity is working properly with casings according to instructions?
    #5514456 - 04/14/06 12:08 AM (17 years, 9 months ago)

I looked over the perlite humidity info because thats what i decided to use for my casings that i just started. they seem to be doing what they need to but the perlite in the bottom of my painbuckets and such arent. (ones a painbucket, ones a smaller size painbucket, ones a very small aquarium) i have hand sprayed a little and left some dry on the top of the wet perlite. it has been a few days. any suggestions?

yeah, dry perlite is useless. you want every piece to be damp, but you don't want standing water in there, cuz that's a breeding ground for contaminants.

Cased bulk substrate in a small terrarium needs no perlite. It will maintain humidity on it's own. Mist as needed.

i agree with ^^^. a casing layer provides a resivoir for the casing itself.

if you still decide to go with perlite make sure there is plenty of surface area for water to evaporate and create humidity.
