My point about watering is you need that wet-dry cycle to occur. The soil really should go fully wet (during the growth season, say spring-summer, north of the subtropics) and then dry or almost dry in between every time (ideally, conditions permitting) or most times (in the real world). During late fall and winter the cycle will probably take longer (shorter, darker days and lower temperatures) and you should change your watering accordingly.

The degree to which winter affects your plants is mostly determined by latitude, in a reasonably mild indoor location. In the northern US or Northern Europe you may want to withhold water partly or completely during winter to achieve a state of suspended animation until the light improves. Here at 32 degrees N latitude I do not water my indoor plants less often in winter, and that's because they can "see" the sun for hours a day, with no obstructions in a southerly facing window. But that may not work for you.

You haven't provided much information about your location or the light exposure where your plants are.
