Kris, the amount of water you give and the time frame is simple.... when the tree needs it. Not every tree will need water at the same time, but when you water you should water till the water comes through the holes in the bottom. Some trees like to be damp when you re-water others nearly dry.

As for the trees drying out, in the house they are in dryer conditions than the desert! Well, thats what I've read. So, it is important to try and raise the humidity by the trees.

Perhaps if you could tell us more as to the type of trees and the location they are in...light- natural and artificial, temperature of the area etc. I'm sure with these questions answered someone can give you some additional advise.
