Re: How often to water?
What prompted you to take it out of the pot? Generally houseplants are potted in a vessel with adequate holes on the bottom which is then filled with a lighter than MD clay dirt (standard potting soil worked for me). When my plants were inside, they were watered weekly. When they were outside, they were watered sometimes daily and sometimes even twice daily. If the soil looked parched, I watered. I never had root rot on any plant. IMO, if the roots are too wet, the soil is too heavy or you need more holes in your pots.
