Deebie: You are welcome. I've been gardening and growing a lot of indoor and outdoor container plants for 45+ years and in the beginning I had trouble keeping my indoor house plants alive because of my overwatering; I was watering them twice a week! Then came a time when I was working very long hours (15, 16 hours a day at the office plus bringing work home with me and working for another hour or two) so I didn't find time to water the plants very often; sometimes they'd go for three weeks between watering and they seemed to be happy. I have plants on my screened porch that go three or four weeks before I drag the hose in to water them and they seem to thrive ... but, we have very high humidity here most of the year so all that moisture in the air helps. Even with my lax watering regime, I still use the well draining potting mix that I've sworn by for quite a few years and my plants do great. That said, I must admit that I have a few orchids that I don't water or fertilize often enough and they are not so happy. Some are mounted on wood while others are in orchid mix but they dry out very quickly and should be watered more regularly.
