That's a good point! I have an in ground sprinkler that waters the plant every morning at 8 am right as the sun is coming up. The plant with the pot is too tall for all the leaves to get sprayed, but the lowest leaves are low enough and they are wet every morning. That's very interesting--I didn't even think about that. What were the symptoms that your plants showed?
