This is my first child. If it wasn’t because I downloaded this app 10m ago, I would’ve have known I have to water it every week. I was going it everyday, lol. Like I said, I’m new to plant parenting and this app has been so helpful more so having a group chat about it!!! So funnnnn omg hi!

Once a week might even be too much! You should invest in a moisture meter to read the soil.

good luck as a new plant parent! i agree with the person above, once a week may be too much as well! I like to let mine dry out a little bit between watering to make sure i'm not over watering
