How much water do I need to use for her?

Ignore the glass, but how much of this is needed to water Foxxy? I don’t want to overwater her again. Please help me, I don’t know what I’m doing lol. #NewPlantMom #help #whatdoido

If you are concerned about overwatering my suggestion would be to bottom water. Put 1/2-1 cup water in a dish/cup and sit the pot in it to soak up the water. Bottom watering encourages root growth as well. After an hour whatever water is left in the dish put in another plant.

You don't need to measure out the water ahead of time. Pour slowly just until you start to see water pour out the drainage holes, then stop. Proper watering has to do with frequency, not amount. As long as you're only watering when the soil has completely dried out, then after watering let it completely dry out again, you'll be fine.
