Is there a foolproof way of watering my houseplants correctly?

Watering Those Indoor Plants : Taking Away The Guesswork.

The trick is to look at the surface of the pot. When you see the compost turning light brown, the plant needs a drink.
Let the plant drink what it wants. Take the plant out of it's Cache or decorative outer pot and sit it in a dish of water. After half an hour, empty any remaining water away. By this time the plant will have drank all the water it needs and there is no chance that you have over or under watered.
