Funny you should ask! If you’re scared, you may overwater your new plant The Simple Seed has a trick!
Aside from the suggestions we give on each plant - when it’s time to water, place the nursery pot or your pot (with drainage hole) in water (preferably a bowl) and let it sit and drink. This trick allows the plant to drink the water it wants. Your plant will stop drinking when it has all the water it needs and when the soil is no longer dry it’s time to take it out!
