My dear boy, therein lies the fallacy. No pot is too big, just the watering too frequent. Don't water your plants too frequently. Proper watering is a complete soak and then wait... Wait until the plant droops or the soil is near complete dryness. Here little Timmy, take this water meter and go forth and prosper.
Once a week would be way too much for mine. Mine goes 10-14 days, depending. Just get a moisture meter from Amazon. Best thing i ever did. Here's mine but I'm sure there are many good ones https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00XOIR206/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_jqN86oLvlODnN
> Is the leaf curling an indication of too much water or not enough?
Yes.
Leaf curling seems to be the most common symptom for a wide range of issues with citrus plants. My leaves are curling inward, while retaining their green color, with very, very few deformations (I think only one or two leaves on mine looked clipped), which leads me to suspect water is my issue. But that doesn't narrow it down on its own. If the leaves respond to watering very quickly by opening up, then the plant was thirsty. If not then you need to let it dry off some of that water. Inside your pot there is something going on called a perched water table. It's basically the soil's capillary action countering the force of gravity to allow some water to sit in the planter despite good drainage. But if you're constantly watering the plant then more of the soil is saturated and your plant is sitting in a pool of water. Not good for it.
But if your leaves are curling erratically and/ or accompanied by yellowing or holes getting chewed out then you might have a fungal/ pest issue.
Every time I've posted on here I've asked for advice on watering or how healthy my plant looks but it seems there's not a lot of activity on this sub other than a quick circle-jerk with a few upvotes every time someone posts pics of their yield. It's starting to be a real disappointment because I really want my lime to thrive.
I think following a set schedule and altering your procedure as the plant responds is really the best you can do. Get yourself something like this meter, you might find it even cheaper at your local big box.
