Sarahke,

Since you've had most fo them for3 years, if your current watering method was bad or wrong, your plants would be dead by now. If you leaves are healthy and firm, they are getting enough water. I recommend staying with what has worked.

Web info is contradictory and confusing and usually very unreliable which is why I constantly refer people to the AOS for cultural info AOS | Home, to excellent books, and which is why we work hard to make sure the sultural info we give out here is reliable and accurate, and not just more of what "they" say on the web.

Your questions are not silly! It is important to ask them and to learn. It is also important for other forum members to remember that people come here for help and it is necessary to be polite and helpful to new members.

Maybe. It is incorrect to think that a keiki is a sign of a problem. Especially with Phals, this is usually a normal thing, not a sign of stress or trouble.
