How often should I water my Fishwort and how much?

I've been trying to look on Greg to see what is good. On my plant tab, it recommends watering every 4 days (doesn't say amount since I don't have premium), but when I find a Fishwort care tab, it says once every week or so.

@Catplantaddict always let the soil be your guide. Fishwort likes its soil to stay consistently moist, so depending on various factors like pot size, temperature, etc., that could be anywhere from 1x/week to 2x/week.

Keep in mind Greg's watering recommendations are just thatβ€”recommendations. So if you get a reminder to water but the soil still feels quite wet, hit the snooze button and it will remind you again in 3 days. The more you do this, the more accurate Greg's recommendations will become πŸ˜‰
When I'd try to hit water or snooze or anything, it would just ask me to pay for super. Also, she looked particularly underwatered and found out she still had no roots, so I put her in a cup full of water.
