All three of these plants are easy to grow.
All three can handle a good bit of shade as well, putting them in the sun after they've been boxed for 2-3 day might burn/stress them.
They've also had the stress of being repotted.

Just give them a little water, let them chill for a week in some light shade and go from there. No problems, man, they are easy. Just don't over water them or burn them and you'll be fine.
Oh and as far as how often to water... it isn't like there is a schedule man, just when they need it. Obviously there is plenty of soil and little roots at the moment so you'll just need a little bit.
All three can handle overly moist conditions and all three can handle the soil drying out as well.
