Having problems with message search?
Drooping leaves is a natural reaction of some plants to too much heat. I would remove the lower leaves so there is good circulation and I would put the pot permanently in a spot that gets morning and afternoon sun only. Tex

We have had 2 weeks of high 70's and 80's temperatures with no rain in the forecast. Needless to say there is nary a hose or sprinkler to be found in the town stores. My question: I water the dahlias when the top of the soil is damp (I grow mine in pots). All of them look fine EXCEPT one. The minute the sun hits it the wilting starts. When it is in the shade it begins to perk up. The leaves look fine color wise and there is no distortion at all in the leaves save the wilting. I moved it this morning to a spot with a little less direct sun. Any suggestions?
