I cant tell you if you need to water more... The METER WILL.
I myself like a mix that will hold water for up to 4 days at 82 degrees F. You may just not be watering with enough water, making you have to water more often. I aint saying to drench/soak them either, but they need a good stiff drink when they get water.
If you use a soil mix that dries really fast, facilitating more frequent watering, and attention to detail, you risk them getting to dry, and concentrating the fert, and burning them.
When I transplant, I get a visual of the rootball going into the container, and then water around the ball, giving the new roots a wet space to grow to, and also soaking the central ball.
I note how much water I used on this initial watering, and slightly increase each watering. Not a lot, but some.
IMHO your plant needs more water, less often.
