Then I do not water again until I don't feel any dampness on the popsicle stick that i tuck down under the root ball.
I started using this tricking today on all my plants. "Bob" is doing okay at the moment. I potted it in a smaller pot because there are not many roots left making the plant a little loose. I'm thinking about ordering some clips to help the problem. Thanks again for your advice, it has helped a lot. Have a great week!
