That definitely clears the stages of which I want to look for the moisture level and Thank you for the help with better understanding that I may not have been doing a terrible thing but I do now understanding how overwatering can affect your plant drastically if you let it. Plus if it dries up I need to take proper protocol to resume the soils life. Thank you so much SmokingWings for the quick daily replys it's great learning something new to better further the health of each plant prolonged.If the soil gets dry it is usually a simple matter of slowly giving water until a small amount flows out the holes on the bottom of the pot.
But, if the soil gets too dry then even a small amount of water will run off the surface. When soil gets too dry it is a case where it has become hydrophobic and then it means a small amount of water, waiting 15 to 30 minutes and another small dose and so on and so on. Eventually the soil has soaked up water and everything is back to normal. Try to avoid letting the soil get too dry.
Letting it get a little bit dry is OK and sometimes good, but too much of a good thing is almost always a bad thing. Then when the plants are entering into a full flowering stage avoid any excessive dry stages.
