Resistant, yes, but they also want love
Remember that watering will depend on many different factors such as the location (indoors or outdoors), the amount of light, the temperature and humidity and the size of the pot, so it is best that the first few weeks and with each change of season you pay a little more attention and follow these tips:
1: When you water for the first time, pick up the pot to take the measure, when you pick it up again after a few days you will know, by the difference in weight, if it needs water.
2: Touch the soil, if it sticks to you, it still has water.
3: In order not to get dirty or with harder soils, prick the soil with a wooden stick, if no soil sticks to it, you can water it.
