Am I Underwatering?

Could it be that I water too often but also not in enough quanity during these times to fully saturate my soil? I was only using 1/5 gallon per pot... I feel that is too little even if it was every 48 hours

Easy method:

Water until runoff.

Dont water again until pot feels light. This can be 2-7 days in a 3 gallon pot. If plant starts to wilt when the pot starts to feel lighter then you've gone too far. It almost does you some good to let your plants get very underwatered just once so you know what it looks like and how long it took bewteen waterings.

That is exactly right.

Use more water, less often.
