Default PS:

On second thought, since you have watered so sparingly, the soil in the pot may have become ‘hydrophobic’,
i.e., it has become so dry, that it won’t absorb water any more. Even in a mild form, that means the soil has
retracted from the walls of the pot and any water you pour on will run down between soil and pot straight
into the catch tray. The plant gets virtually none of it.

If that is the case, then you have to place the pot into a large container full of water and let it soak it up
for at least a couple of hours.
