Thanks, Charlie.

Here's a general guideline I use when to know to water the new arrivals to

keep em' moist at all times.  The reason I use this method is that air 
moisture levels, direct sun****ne, and air temperature change all the time.

Use a stone birdbath that holds about 1" of water.  When it dries up, I
fill 
it and water the new plants as well.
