I just got my first P irminia sling about two months ago. I raised a P Cambridgei, and to me they seem to have so much in common.
I feed my sling weekly, one to three crickets depending on how much they eat. I keep a water bowl and must the enclosure down when it dry. These guys seem to love to drink the water after I spray down the tank. And the tunnels they make with their webs and dirt are super cool!

Fairly new to these myself there's a lot of good threads on here about them on the search - Semi arboreal atleast when small, they like a bit of humidity and are great eaters, has never refused food apart from in pre molt and they can be VERY fast. Only downside is this spider won't come out in ambient light for me atm only full darkness. This is a fairly recent rehouse, As you can see in the pic mines made a 'nest' at the bottom which I suspect goes into the substrate a lil and will sit just above the entrance on the cork bark at night, I'm guessing she will extend upward as she grows

They are fairly easy to keep, sub should be moist, especially for slings/juveniles. You can let it dry out more as they grow, give them decent substrate depth as they will excavate, usually near their hides.
Each of my specimens has webbed up their enclosures considerably. Growth rates are very fast and they eat like pigs. Just be cautious when working around them, they can be flighty and quite defensive at times.
