I have a few purple D.s growing right now in pots. I went out to the Green Hut yesterday & they were all droopy. & wet!
I took them out of their pots shook all the soil off their roots & replanted them in a lighter mix. They were standing tall in about 30 min. I think If I had not gotten them out of that wet pot it would have been curtians for them. A lesson well learned. I also planted one out in my yard Mostly full sun, & it was droopy in the hot PM sun, but it has only been there 4 days now. It is planted in a very loose soil mix & avoiding watering it too much. It over came the heat & is fine. I wonder how long that "heat droop" goes on until it gets used to it?
