Unusually do about an hour and if they feel heavy then I pull them out. If not I let them set longer.

When the pot is heavy it's has enough water. Also when it's light you'll know it needs water. They a chop stick, it if comes out wet then it's good. Some need less time because they are smaller. Same for watering. If it domes out dry water it. Really just depends on the plant

Bottom water until the topsoil feels moist. Then, you know the water has wicked up through all of the soil. Time varies with soil type, and pot size/type. There is no set time.🪴🍀
