Sorry for the multiple posts, I notice now that you guys answered to me.
Nono, I want to use the vaporizer only for the wood before put it in the terrarium hahahaI've never used a 'vaporizer' but while that would work for solid items, it sounds like it might dry out & then blow your substrate around? That might be messy?
And I just used half of the water that the product tells to use for rehydrating the fiber! In the instruction there was write that you have to use 7l for 18 l of fiber hahahathis photo, I couldn't tell that was screen in the middle-:cens0r:https://ibb.co/Vqx484n:cens0r:Thanks for the added photos, now it makes sense. So apparently there's just not enough ventilation to dissipate the amount of water you added into the coconut fiber substrate. Having used the same stuff a few times (long ago), it's easy to get it too wet. How you prefer to dry it out is up to you.
(Many glass tanks have all screen on top- that's not the case with yours though.)
If you spread some in a large metal baking- or-lasagna pan to "bake" it, you wouldn't necessarily want to bake it dry- just accelerate the evaporation of the excess water. As I said, on a low temperature (150* F- that's 65.5* C, btw) it's quite safe- but for something like an hour, & under observation. Sun isn't as hot (even if you live in the desert) so it takes longer, that's all. Your call.
In any case, I'll try to leave the fiber in the sun (I have already it in this way 3/4 days with today). If this method doesn't work in a week I put it in the oven
