What bothers me is the advice you find all over the internet that "you are probably overwatering your plants" is only correct if you assume the reader knows nothing about plants and just keep them soaking all the time. Overwatering is NOT a Hofstadter's law where it happens even if you try to correct for it. Reality is container plants are a pretty complex system that an amateur is likely to mess up but not always in a particular direction, and the answer is to be anal about watching all the time.
