I dutifully water my plants every morning, but the last few evenings we've had some much needed rain showers. I was going to water my plants anyway, but I was getting some 'shrooms growing in my containers. So, fearful of rootrot, I backed off the watering a bit.
Apparently I backed off a wee bit too far.
I just gave the plant a generous dousing of water. I'm hoping it will properly revive. I'd hate to damage the peppers currently growing. Even the mutant-looking one. He's a bit of a Quasimoto.

Are the plants getting enough drainage?
Sometimes even that doesn't work, as I've never been able to keep a Boston fern or a geranium alive.
It's hard to say if some of my plants are getting enough drainage. I bought some plastic pots because I heard that they can be better in texas because you you don't have the evaporation through the clay.
The pots I bought had these great drainage trays at the bottom, but I didnt' notice that there were no drainage holes. Who makes a pot without drainage holes?! I ended up drilling some, but I don't know if they're enough.
Next year...more drainage holes and some stones at the bottom of the pot.
