Looking good as everyone's saying!
I had difficulty with over/underwatering until I got one of those analogue moisture meters. They're reasonably priced and can tell you exactly how much water is in any spot in your soil. I recommend hitting up your local gardening store and asking them about it
I learned one of my pots was pooling water at the bottom and rotting the ends of the roots when the top layer was dry and I had another pot where the water was just running around the edges of my pot and draining out the bottom without saturating the soil at all.
Really easy things to fix once you know what's happening.
You should keep it in a dry place when not in use. My first one corroded and broke because I just left it in the dirt.
