Spraying is the only way I have ever watered plants in a vivarium. It sounds though, like your plants can be removed from the terrarium at any time since they are in a pot. That might be the better option for you if you have no way of dealing with accumulating water at the bottom of your terrarium. Does your terrarium have a drain or a way to pump the excess water out?

Yes my plants are either potted or mounted and my terrarium does have a drain for excess water.
Since it's my first terrarium and I am a beginner I was wondering how to spray them? Do you spray the pot/roots only or do you spray the whole plant?
I am about to buy a high pressure spayer but maybe there is a better option that why I am asking

I don't have any potted plants in my terrariums so all I use is a misting system or hand spray. You have to learn how much and how often you should spray your plants in your enclosure as conditions in all terrariums/vivariums are different.
