My fuchsia's (in a hanging container) care says "keep moist but do not
overwater". So should I water it like a half-gallon per day?



You should water it only if it needs it, not daily perse. Stick your
finger in in the soil an inch or so. Damp? Don't water. Fingertip dry?
Water.


I can't
understand how you could overwater with the drain holes in the bottom.
Thanks.



It's easier than you think. Some people water daily or more often and kill
the plants due to root rot.

Don't water on a schedual, water only if needed.
