    Re: Can't keep humidity stable

    What I would recommend. Is get some eco earth coconut husk substrate. Then get some reptibark soak the coco then pour reptibark on top of the coco that's 50% humidity right there. It's a bit more expensive. But it looks a lot nicer and gives you the right numbers
