I water weekly year round. Be careful how often you water a potted cirio, especially in summer, when more is not better. I have heard horror stories of tragic late-summer meltdowns after too much water. Here we have very little actual heat so the plant never gets to dormancy, and there's probably no particular risk, but I would not want to push it. The soil goes thoroughly dry each time. As long as you are reasonably sure that's happening, water as often as the plant demands.
