Im hoping with it being above the kitchen sink and a few feet from the kitchen compost bins that it’ll catch the few fruit flies we get. Can they be overwatered? I was told to keep it in a tray of distilled water or rainwater.

They are delicate, so yes watering from the bottom encourages root growth & helps prevent mold. Change the water out every when possible so it doesn't become to stangent.
