info
This plant likes to stay evenly moist. When you touch the soil surface and it’s no longer squishy and soggy, but feels like a well-wrung sponge, it’s time to water. Often these plants can be left in a little standing water to extend the watering cycle. This plant could be watered several times a week, or less if you leave the plant standing in an inch of standing water each watering cycle. Remember that a smaller pot will dry out faster, so for a tiny 4-inch pot, you might need to water daily.
