Many people worry that they are giving their plant too much water, and end up under-watering their plants. Others keep the self watering pot the plant came in that can't drain water and drown their plants in it. For many beginner friendly plants, over watering is not the problem, it's how well the water drains from the soil after each watering. Most of these plants don't want soggy soil, and their roots need oxygen. Get them in a pot with drainage and water them until water pours out from the drainage holes. Let the water excessively drain until unfrequent drips are left. Water them again only after the the first few inches of top soil are dry. Try to feel the soil gently to keep in from compacting over time. Prolonged exposure to excessive watering can cause root rot which will keep your plant and attract pests.
