You water plants until all of the soil is wet and the excess water freely flows through the drainage holes. This may mean moving the plant to a location like inside a tub/shower or putting a large plant inside a container to collect the excess water and protect the floor. Water every time the leaves start to droop. 🪴🍀

You can also use a plastic chopstick or a knitting needle to check if it’s ready to be watered. Push it down into the soil as far as you can and if it comes out 25-50% dry (no soil sticking to the top 25-50%) then it’s ready to be watered.
