You are never going to get a straight answer because everyone's growing conditions are different and people us different pots and so on.

The only thing you can do is use your best judgement and learn what works best for you and your plant. Try and let them dry out but not totally dry out. That's really it. I go around and feel all my pots do the touch test to if I need to water.

If your not sure you plant needs water don't water wait a day they will be ok better to under water then over water.

Using clear pots is the best you and see how wet the plant is. I make my pots out of clear food storage containers it works great. This way I can see and feel to know when I need to water.
