Welcome from Ecuador!

You and I have similar climates, actually. I normally water when my soil is dry (bidaily but I'm windier than you are), fertilize once a month with a mixture of aged manure and volcanic ash, and I don't normally spray unless there is sign of some kind of infection. In the heat, it's actually a bad idea to wet the leaves - you get faster sunburn that way.
