Living in a Northern country with limited sunlight, I've found that generally it's best to err towards too little watering than the other way around most of the year. I've killed many plants by watering them too much in winter when there's lack of light, but most my of my plants have survived quite severe drought when I've been away during summer.
- Aeolun 5y agoKind of makes sense right? Sometimes it doesn’t rain for weeks but the plant still has to survive. Then it rains for a whole day and plant is completely soaked, still survives. I guess the biggest problem plants have is that humans want to interfere with their natural cycle :P

In any case the solution if you tend to over-water can be to stop it... or to keep over-watering. Just find plants that like having their feet soaked. You can't over-water a Zantedeschia if the temperatures remain warm. If you forget it and let it dry it just will go to sleep for a while and will flower better. You can't over-water a Cyperus.
