[Watering Guide and Timing]
◆ Immediately After Purchase (First Watering)

- Ideally, the plaster should be lightly moistened throughout.
- After watering, wait about 30 minutes to 1 hour for humidity to stabilize before introducing ants.
◆ Regular Watering (During Breeding)
- Spring to Autumn: Once every 3-4 days
- Winter (Indoor Breeding): Once every 5-7 days
- Aim for 1-2 sprays with a mist bottle.
- Water when the plaster appears to be completely dry.
◆ Precautions
- Be careful not to over-moisten, which can create puddles.
- Excessive humidity can lead to mold and stress for the ants.
