Hi mate, underwater and overwater are bit tricky. One thing is sure, from overwatering you can get root rot. So when I am not sure I let the medium dry out completely for a couple of days and then I start again. Within those couple of days if the plant seems more droopy and not healthy I know its underwatering, if it starts looking healthy while medium dries out, then I know I overwatered since there was not enough oxygen in the roots. If overwater is your case, I would suggest when you start watering use a light phed mix of water with h2o2 to supplement the roots with a bit oxygen.

there is a very simple trick when you give water. Let it dry nicely, then lift the pot up and remember how easy it is. Then pour it and lift the pot back up and notice how heavy it is now. The next time you water, you will only do it again if the pot is as light as when you started. As a pure beginner, you can also use a scale and note the weight ፦). Keep carrying as before
