Glad to try to help. On the 'bright side,' a gallon per week in a pot may be plenty, especially if it's a nice, big pot! Might be great for you and the plant both. It's possible that it may be necessary to apply smaller amounts of water more often. If you see any wilting, that's a sign it's gone a little too long. After it settles into the change, you'll get to know its' needs. In the winter when it's cooler, water requirements are usually drastically less, something to keep in mind in a few months. Just make sure you use a pot with at least one good hole in the bottom, so if it does rain, your pot doesn't turn into a pond.
Thanks, Evan. I could help fix that shortage at your house, if it's not on purpose!
