Most of Florida, USA is sandy soil with dry winters and hot, humid rainy summers. Many members here are from Florida, so once the gurus have time to answer questions, you will get some help. Must be the busy season as answers to questions raised in posts are slow in coming right now.
I can tell you to water shallow and often when dry, mulch, and fertilize regularly. "deep watering" seems to just wash all your nutrients away, below root level, too quickly.
I hope that helps.
