u shouldnt have to put more water in it.I use 1:1 vermiculite and water and put it in 8 oz deli container with no holes in it.I dont add any more water since all the humidity is still in the container.Once u do the initial mix leave it alone.Its worked for me.be careful though because your going to be tempeted to put more water init because 1:1 doesnt look moist at all.

perlite uses 1:8 ratio of water,,,..so after mixing the water will evaporate no more?

I do love all of the mixture formulas etc. and if that works for you keep it up. I use sphagnum moss, wet it good with warm water then hand wring it out real well, put it in a tub add eggs and wait. I don't use incubators and such, I just get a mix of babies...

The water will evaporate, there is no way around it. However, you will not need to add more water.

i believe some of the moisture gets taken in by the embryo.If your deli cup has no holes like mine .I dont add anymore water
