Wrong. I agree with Bob. You need to keep water available
at the roots, but no need to over do it. What exactly would
watering as much as possible mean? 24/7 with the largest
flow rate you can support?

Just water it at least once a day and keep an eye on how
quickly it dries out. Also, the advice to not water during
the day or you will "scorch" it, is rubbish. If water could
harm it that way, what would happen with passing
showers that nature provides? The reason not to water
during the day is that a lot more water will be lost to
evaporation.
