    If they are truly over watered, they will start to wilt and die as the roots literally drown. But don't be too sure they are overwatered. If they look healthy, they are probably fine.

    I prefer to water in the morning. This article will help:

    Typically, you would water both the top and each pocket to ensure even watering.
