Answer 1

I wouldn't water it "once a day" especially in a "big pot". If the pot is much bigger than the last one, the roots aren't extending in to the full volume and the soil will stay wet and rot the roots. Rather I would water it when it is almost dry. Go by how heavy the pot feels. It takes longer to see the effects of over watering, yellowing and falling of leaves, but by that time the damage until it is already done,  whereas drying out you can tell sooner and remedy straight away.

If you want it to branch snip off the apical meristem, the very, very tip.
