->How can you make the soil dry out faster?

I put my germinated seeds in my soil (I had put MG soil in a small cup and wet it 2 days before putting the seedling in it). Put the germinated seed in the soil and gave it two small sprays from a spray bottle. The soil is still wet. The soil barley ever dries out and im not sure why. I put holes in the bottom of the cup and watered until the soil was wet but NOT muddy and let the extra water drain out.
Any suggestions? I am not using a fan yet because the seedling has not come out of the soil (it was not 100% germinated to my likings but I moved it to my soil)
This is my second grow attempt, first failed after 1 week =( but I learned from it.
Add 20% perlite to your soil mix and keep temps up above 75 degrees. Don't plant seeds too deep..1/4 inch loose soil.
Keep moist, not wet.

Generally people advise clean, proper ph water, poured slowly each time is more effective. No set amount.
