Water to the plant's native environment.
If the plant is native to a tropical area, be sure to water the plant generously. If it more like a succulent or snake plant, be sure to keep the soil on the drier side.
Touch the soil.
When touching the soil, notice if the soil is dry and firm or moist and soft. If it's starting to dry and harden, be sure to water the plant.
Overwatering
Overwatering is one of the biggest mistakes when watering a plant. Many plants need a lot less water then you think and go for a fair amount of time without water. Touch the soil and if the soil is still soft and moist, it should be okay without a watering.
