I mist mine around every 10 days or so but only on the damp half of the tank. Springtails are essential as a cleanup crew, always remove the bolus as soon as you see it. Provide a large water bowl or two and keep it filled with fresh water. Your spider will use it as a poop and dump ground so keep on top of it. And read this ...
