Water it with Brawndo. It has the electrolytes plants crave.

Looks like some sort of dwarf Algerian Ivy. It will not need all that much water, maybe once per week. I would water the "teddy bear" shaped peat moss enough to moisten. Obviously you will need to have the plant somewhere that drips won't matter, or put the whole kit and kaboodle into a container of some kind.

As mentioned, take teddy plant outdoors where there is partial to full sun. Water the teddy himself, being careful that the water won't drip on anything you don't want to get wet. Soon, the ivy will grow around teddy and cover him up completely or you can sorta trim the ivy back to keep the teddy cute and tidy.
