Only water when soil is very dry and then soak it!

Planta will tell you but never water it before unless it is has a specific underwatering problem

Maybe a pitcher with a long narrow tip would allow you to slip it under the edge

Needs lots of light

Water it every 1-2 weeks! Make sure it has well draining soil and keep it in the sun for 6-9 hours! ⭐️
