Usually fewer deep waterings are better than many little ones but in small
pots you may need to water daily or even twice daily if it is hot and dry.
Just to make things harder overwatering will cause wilting too by allowing
fungal diseases to flourish.

I take it these are in pots.  How big are the pots?  If the pot is too
small
they will dry out very quickly and you may not be able to put them in full
sun
(which is desirable) without heat wilting.
