Because the decorative containers do not have drainage holes, only a light watering once a week when the top soil is dry is necessary. If mounted instead of planted in soil, mist the plant more often. If you think you have overwatered, tilt the container into the sink to drain any excess water. Containers will last 6-8 weeks with proper care.
