“I'm using natural lighting from a window, and spray with tap water occasionally if needed, but it's a closed system so I mostly just watered it the day I made it, then see if it fogs up, and if so I'll air it out for a few hours. I don't know how big this enclosure is, maybe a gallon. I found it at Walmart a long time ago and it has a food grade sealing lid great for closed environments, so I thought it would be good for a terrarium.”
