I am growing two Jalapeno plants in pots on the verandah, where they get the full afternoon sun. They have both been doing well considering I do not have a \"green thumb\". They both have great colour. One of the plants has two peppers growing on it. But I am a bit concerned as it has been very hot and their leaves are drooping. I have stopped watering them every day thinking that might be getting too much water. I tried giving them both a mix of 2tps of salt to two litres of water. But they are still droopy. The one with the two peppers dropped a flower recently. They have plenty of air flow around them. I don\'t know what else to do.
