I only water when it hasn't rained in days but I'm usually on the assumption that I can't overwater the these because of the potting mix. This is the only one I have still in a non-rootmaker container so maybe the drainage isn't as good as I expected, especially since it sits on dirt. I didn't want to disturb the roots since it already nearly died but maybe I will poke some extra holes or repot it into a rootmaker.
