      Depends on the plant! Some need water almost constantly, while others, like some species of cactus, can go for quite a long time without getting any water, as they store water for (not so) rainy days – some can last without water for up to three years, and they have developed ways of getting at any moisture such as fog or dew to keep themselves from d(r)ying.
