you want to make sure your entire medium gets wet. you don't want dry spots. i don't worry about it so much when just watering though. i'll just dump a big cup of water or something in a container if it needs it sometimes.

it also will depend on your root size (more roots and your medium will hold less moisture, same thing if it's old/compacted). your temps also play a part in this.

the most important thing you can do is learn to read your plants. there is no set formula, merely a guideline. your ladies will tell you all you need to know, you just have to learn what to look for. so when you do something, pay attention to how they react.
