Why don't you use the good old 'skewer test'? I just leave a bamboo skewer in the potting mix and pull it out to check when to water.

Do you have pics of the rest of the plant? How much light does it get and have you changed the position of the plant lately? Turned on the A/C? I cant tell if the plant is on the inside or outside of your window.
