How often should you water houseplants?
Weekly. It goes on the list when you tell it there are houseplants.
What it actually is, and what shifts it
More houseplants die of too much water than too little. Finger into the compost to the second knuckle: dry means water it, damp means walk away, and a pot standing in a full saucer is drowning slowly.
Put it on a list that reminds you
“Water the houseplants”, weekly. Tick it when it is done and the next date is counted from that day, not from when it was due.
