Hint/hack...put a drop or less of dish detergent in your water so the water breaks the surface tension of the soil and does not run out the sides.....water sloooow.
Note the distance from the sides of the container below.

and you do the same once in your basement in the dark? I was expecting to water them like once max twice in the winter
but that may be wrong as I see soil separating from sides within a couple days!
