Back to the skewer suggestion - when the skewer comes out dry - time to water. In all honesty, once you have done this for awhile you will be able to tell from the weight of the plant & pot when this is - very light. Always better to under water than over water. Once you have gone too long the leaves will actually start to droop and show indentation along the veins that show it is getting dehydrated. I'm not sure where the point of no return is, but it is amazing how quickly they can perk back up - they are survivors! :-) Depending upon media and other environmental factors the watering time could be as often as every few days to once every 1-3 weeks. mike
