It really kind of depends on the individual species. I have terrestrial ones, lithophytic ones, epiphytic ones that are growing in nothing but sphagnum moss, and vining ones. Some of them get watered almost every day. Others every other day to 2 days. They are not houseplants....some are planted in the ground, and some are in containers.
Anthurium 'Ace of Spades' is a pretty old hybrid of unknown parentage. Its terrestrial, so I water it every couple days.
I use a very loose mix for terrestrial anthuriums, the proportion of actual potting soil is not large so the plant will uptake what it needs and the rest will pretty much drain quickly.
The Velvet section (Cardiolonchium) is one of my other favorite groups. I especially like ones like A. clarinervium
