I've heard marantas can be dramatic, your experience seems to confirm it!

Yes quite dramatic. it insists on dying all the time.

That's what I like about succulents. When a plant is not doing well, you just forget about it and boom! Healed!

I wish I had more succulents but they tend to like more sunlight than I have. I only have one and it’s really leggy

Edit to add that when I say succulents I’m not talking about my two jades

I kept killing all my succulents until I was looking after a friend's house while they were out of town, and they just asked me to water them by spraying them once a week with a little bottle sprayer. I had definitely been overwatering mine

I really try to over water. I have to remind myself that they're not dehydrated because they weren't watered yesterday

Thats true. I keep my plants outdoors, except for the few propagation that are small and/or important enough to stay inside during the winter

It’s either that or I forgot about them all for two weeks

It’s too cold here for indoor plants to be outside, but I do put some outside in the summer

So, overwatering is actually not a matter of how much water you give them, but how often. When I water, there have been times where I've left them overnight in water (I bottom water). It's simply a matter of waiting until your plant is showing signs of dehydration, and having a fast draining soil mix

Succulents wouldn't mind that at all! Ah, I see. Well, they should be grateful they get to go out in the summer!

Haha yeah. We accidentally killed our lemon tree by leaving it out for too long in the fall though
