How is your terrarium sealed?
In many species, new leaves will have to grow in the new environment
(reduced humidity) for the plants to be adjusted. However, you should
not be loosing so much dew from your plants in just minutes. Perhaps
you should start openning the terrarium at night when the humidity is
almost always higher...
