I tried that spray on the plants in the greenhouse, with mixed
results, but this one was outside and it did it on its own. We're on
the northern California coast, so it never gets to 90 degrees here.
Thanks for the watering tip. I'll be careful.

The plant is an heriloom called Carmello. It's very bushy.
