John, my watering intervals are measured in months, not weeks. When they have moved outside during the summer, it happens when I think of it and it's convenient or when the plant is clearly stressed because I've left it too long. In the winter, they are lucky to get any at all, though it usually happens once or maybe twice usually. But they are kept in an unheated, glass front porch in the winter months so it can get relatively cool depending on the weather outside. @Stush2019 can probably give you better advice on a watering schedule than I can, so I'm tagging him here. I have a tendency to be a careless caretaker. Combined with the experience of having killed more plants by too much water than too little doesn't help. The heirloom Sanseveiria had a close call one winter on that score from someone else being helpful and watering plants without my knowledge. The heirloom Sanseveiria and the heirloom aloe are probably the two most neglected and abused plants in my care - which may be why they've been hanging around for probably more than 70 years. They can take a lot of mishandling and just wait for better times Big Grin .
