One of my potted plants (LaFawnduh, Gorilla Bomb) is noticeably drooping 24 hours after watering. She perks right up immediately after getting a drink. Should I be giving her water more frequently than 24 hours for optimal growing conditions?

I never want to see my plants drooping from lack of water. The plant will recover but it is still stress. When watering make sure to put water on the entire surface of the soil. Then wait a minute to let it soak in. When the soil is hydrated it can more readily accept more water. Then give more water and wait. Your goal is to moisten every bit of soil in the pot. Don't just dump water in the middle and walk away. If you can't water frequent enough to stop the wilting there are moisture crystals you can mix into the soil. I use them on my flowers in pots outdoors. Sometimes a pot can't hold enough water to get through a hot day and the crystals can buy you more time. You can also consider using an automatic waterer. I think a manual watering is still important but if a machine can give a little extra when the plats really need it then it can be very helpful.

Well if it's outside and it's very hot and the substrate very light, she might need two waterings some days. You could mulch a couple of centimetres with grass clippings for example. That will reduce the dehydration process visibly.
