I cut back watering to every other day despite the full sun in high Temps, maybe it was getting too much water? Problem is when I don't water it just looks all wilty and crispy. Don't know why I'm doing wrong with this thing.
My experience is that in the heat of the day the leaves look like they are wilted. In the evening they perk back up. Maybe they do that so they aren't as exposed to as much hot sun ??
