The answer to that question depends upon a lot of variables.
Medium, drainage, direct or indirect sun, mulch or no mulch,
clay or plastic pot, etc...

Are your girls drowning, or do you need a rough idea of when they'll need water?

Yeah the plant is a variable too. Mine I water one gallon of water to a 5 gallon pot. It takes 3 days to wilt in 90-100 degree heat. If it's really humid, the leaves turn down instead of up. They also curl a bit but do not wilt.

Yeah about 3 days is what I would say would be my guess for an average too

Wet or moist? Do the pencil trick. Sharpen a pencil and stick it into the soil a couple inches. If you pull the pencil out and the wood is wet, you need to wait. If it is dry, or barely moist, water.
