How to water after overwatering?

Hi :) I overwatered my plant. She is still not looking good, but the soil is completely dried out by now. (Last watered 5 days ago; pots are 3,8l / 1gal). Should I water it again with 1/3 of the pot volume? Or should I start with a lower dosage, or even wait a few more days?

I’d get some water to her immediately as it looks like the leaves aren’t just drooping, but also limp and hanging. I’d water slowly, getting the top watered a bit and then waiting about 20 minutes and go back and water more. The soils probably so dry that most of what you first put in will just run through to the bottom and won’t soak in there. Waiting a bit and adding more water will ensure your girl actually takes up that water. You have a smaller pot so you should be able to pick it up before you water and see how it weighs. Then pick it up after watering. You should feel a big difference. I’d water when the pot feels light and before the leaves get this bad. Let a bit come out the bottom that helps with buildups and also gives you peace of mind that the pots draining and she got her water

If you see droopy leaves and the medium is dry when you stick your finger in it, the plant needs water ASAP before major stress occurs. A simple dry back like this can effect the yield dramatically so it should be avoided. Letting a plant go till the point of wilting is not recommended at all. Water enough to get roughly 10-20% of water running out of the bottom of the pot over the span of 10 min. This is proper watering techniques. Hope this helps.
