For comparison, I grow most of my phals in 3-4" pots and I generally water every 2-3 days (growing indoors in Boston, MA, indoor humidity around 70% in summer, 40-50% in winter).
That sounds plausible! I water once a week where I fill the pot with water, let is soak for 30 mins, then drain it. My house is pretty dry ranging 50-60% humidity.

How should I water them - logistically? Should I do a small amount more often so there isn't water pooling in the pot or maybe some other way?
