Water it till it runs out the drain holes, and soak the heck out of it. You can't overwater it. But then you need to let the container to dry out before you do it again. So if you water it too often you could overwater it. Hmmmm. We need context here.
Yeah....that makes more sense. Cervantes was saying you can't overwater it, but I was thinking how can't you when people do it all the time. Then I sat and realized maybe the overwatering is not caused by too much water in one time, but more of too much water given over a period of time...leading to overwatering. Which lead me to believe why letting the soil "dry" out is so important before watering again. Glad you posted this so I could realize what it was he meant exactly by, "You can't overwater them." Kudos! :thumbsup:
