The amount of water you put in a terrarium depends on the specific plants in it and their water needs. It's best to add enough water to keep the soil slightly moist but not waterlogged. Monitor the terrarium and adjust the watering based on the plant's condition.

You can tell if a terrarium has reached dynamic equilibrium when the levels of water, nutrients, and gas within the system remain relatively stable over time without significant fluctuations. This means that the plants, animals, and microorganisms within the terrarium have found a balance in their interactions and are able to sustain themselves in a self-regulating manner.
Water is necessary for terrariums to maintain proper humidity levels for plants to thrive. It provides the moisture essential for plant growth and helps create a microclimate within the enclosed environment. Without water, plants may wilt, dry out, or die in a terrarium setting.
The time it takes for a terrarium to evaporate depends on various factors such as the size of the terrarium, the type of plants inside, the humidity levels in the environment, and how often it is watered. Generally, a well-sealed terrarium can retain moisture for several weeks to months before needing to be watered again.
You make a terrarium by taking a large jar and then you put soil into it. Then after that, you select the types of plants you would like to use in your terrarium, according to how much sun they should get. You plant them, and you can water them whenever the soil seems dry, or you can put a lid onto of the jar so it's like a self-watering system. Make sure that the jar or container is large enough for the plants you put in it. Good Luck ;)
Yes, you can put air plants in a terrarium as long as the terrarium has good air circulation and the plants are not overcrowded. Air plants do not require soil to grow and can thrive in a terrarium environment with proper care.

It is recommended that you put sand or pebbles at the bottom of a terrarium to allow drainage when watering plants.
The main process by which water vapor is produced in a terrarium is through evaporation. This occurs when water from the substrate, plants, or any standing water in the terrarium is heated by sunlight and turns into water vapor, increasing the humidity levels within the enclosed environment.
To properly water air plants in a terrarium, mist them with water using a spray bottle or soak them in water for about 20-30 minutes once a week. Make sure to let them dry completely before putting them back in the terrarium to prevent rot.
Water droplets form on the inside of a terrarium due to the process of transpiration, where moisture is released by the plants through their leaves. This moisture then condenses on the cooler glass surface of the terrarium, creating the droplets. It is a natural part of the terrarium's ecosystem and helps maintain humidity levels for the plants.

Yes, I put my baby slider in a sand filled terrarium over night and feed him in water and he is doing ok
Once a terrarium is watered once, it becomes a self-sustaining system that requires little upkeep.
You shouldn't put water directly in a terrarium because it can create excess humidity and lead to mold growth, which can harm the plants and disrupt the ecosystem. Terrariums are designed to be self-sustaining, relying on a closed environment where moisture cycles naturally through evaporation and condensation. Instead of adding water, it's better to mist the plants occasionally if needed, as this mimics natural conditions without over-saturating the soil.
