Only a few house plants are able to tolerate roots that have become waterlogged. You shouldn’t water your houseplants more often than once a week, except when it gets really hot in the summer.
Begin by examining the plant with your fingertips to determine if it needs water. If it does, take the inner pot out of the outer pot and place it in the sink or over a bucket so that it can drain. If your outer pot has holes, you can place the entire lot in the sink. Slowly pour water on the compost to reach the rim of your pot. Let it seep through. Hang it again once the water has stopped dripping from its base. Use tepid water, and if possible rainwater. Tap water can cause your plants to be unhappy.
