If you repotted them, water them now. If not, wait until the soil is dry 1-3 inches down. Good luck!

You can water until you get drainage out of the bottom drainage holes. I typically put in water equal to about 1/4 to 1/3 the size of the container the plant lives in. Less if it’s a succulent, or closer to 1/3 the size of the pot if it’s a plant that requires more water. But it’s more important that you look at what planta recommends the soil moisture to be before you water again. Checking the soil moisture can be done with your finger, a chopstick or a moisture meter. You’re best with a chopstick if you only have a few plants. It’s cheap and easy. Poke chopstick in soil as far as it goes, if it’s dry when it comes out it’s dry wherever it’s wet/dirty is where the soil is still moist.
