Built two terrariums last weekend, one with gravel and one with leca.
The one with the leca layer at the bottom is way less soggy after five days. The gravel one already has a puddle. Is leca just better for drainage, or did I mess up the gravel setup?

Maybe your gravel layer is just too thick, trapping water down there?

Honestly, that's a solid point. I had the same problem with my last build, the water just pooled under the gravel and made a huge mess. Took me forever to figure out I needed way less than I thought.
