If they're drying the water completely within 3 days, either you don't give them enough water or they need a transplant to a larger pot. Trust me, that's the sign I use to know when to transplant.

water bottle upside down in soil with a pin hole in lid, it takes 2 days to empty

if u have every seen the TV commercials for that water ball thing, its all colourful and what not, basically u just need a makeshift one of those, just take a water bottle with a hole i nthe top to fit a straw or a tube and seal if off, then stuck the waterbottle upside down and put the tube in the water, as air if released into the bottle from the soil drying up it will slowly release water into the plant pot

All of this will work as well, but I would recommend transplanting as well. The water will hold longer and your plant will begin to grow faster.
