plants don't always need to be watered everyday, be safe not to over do it

don't keep the soil wet. Just a bit more than damp. The roots need to breath, to wet and they will rot.

DON'T water everyday. That would be WAY too much. You water when the soil gets dry. Dry dry, not just damp.

Best trick I found for watering is to lift it up when its completely dry and then compare that to the other. So fill another cup the same size with soil and compare em before you water. Or stick your finger in the cup.

not too many times in a day... likely one time...
likely when it is dry right to the bottom of the pot , its time to water your plants. The reason they need it. And the matter how big your plant and pot would be...
