Weird. I was complaining the other day that my Strawberry Cough leaves were acting like it needed water, even though the soil was still moist under the mulch. When I watered it, it perked right up.
This one did the same thing today. Her lowers were all wilted. But under the mulch, soil was quite damp. I checked the holes on the bottom and it was dry. So I watered her really well. When I checked on her a couple of hours later, she was fine.
I'm using 5 gallon tall pots, and just started using them a few months ago. Maybe that's it. And maybe it's the fact that I used sand for drainage. Anyway, now I know to check the bottom for dryness.
