      That's ok, but still be careful how much water to give them. Just give them a few drops and see how they go, when the soil is dry give them a bit and be very sparingly in the winter months.
      I've got a flowering cactus and i hardly water it, if it's drooping i will give it a bit of water.

        Thanks for that advice Logan, I thought I had to drench directly after repotting or something. How much water should give them directly after potting? I know about overwatering. The base of several of the snake's tongue leaves rotted because I overwatered it and I only gave it 3 teaspoons every fortnight.

          Does anyone know what this plant is called and how I should tend it? My first thought is that it needs a larger pot. My wife also told me I have to break off the lower faded leaves. 20200320_132950.jpg

                This video should help

                Water around the edge of the pot not in the middle.
