Hi Ishita. I check mine using a finger or chopstick. I allow mine to dry out a bit between wateringsβ€”so at least the top inch of soil should feel dry. I think it works out to once every week snd a half. A lot
will depend on the conditions your plant is inβ€”such as temperature, humidity levels, type of container, etc. these can all effect how often water is needed. Hope this answers your question! Happy growing! πŸͺ΄
I do the same as @LaSiguanaba and agree with what she said! Definitely depends on the environment provided. I would shy away from misting to prevent any opportunities for fungi or bacteria unless you have good airflow:)
Hi, Ishita! I totally agree with @LaSiguanaba and @S.ham13 - misting makes us feel like we are doing something, but it can cause more issues in the long run. If you home doesn't have the humidity that the plant wants, a humidifier is your best bet.

These plants also are not fans of direct light. From experience, when my Adansonii was receiving direct light, the leaves would yellow and die. 😬
