It's summer, and that means heat! Hot weather, especially when combined with intense sun and wind, it can cause extreme damage to container plants. Heat can completely dry up and kill a plant, so make sure that plants are either taken indoors on especially hot days, or that they are protected in some way. Move them out of bright sun or block some sun with a screen. Also provide extra water on hot days, as much of the plant's potting soil will dry out. If you don't have a hose or a drip irrigation system, try using store-bought or homemade watering devices like the aqua globe.
