No, I did not punch holes. I don't have any accurate way to tell you how
much moisture but, I added water a bit at a time to get it moist, but not
wet. I looked through the clear bottom to be sure no water pooled. One
time I had too much water - I could tell because the condensation built up
very thickly, so I just removed the lid for awhile. This was with tender
perennial cuttings like Osteospurmum, Coleus. This is a very handy way to
make cuttings. It sits on my light stand for the needed light. Since it is
in the house I don't bother with a heating pad under it.
