My Droso is not looking as happy as it was … it took me a month to figure out the watering routine when I had it inside under lights. Then I move it outside 2 weeks ago. It was doing good in 6-7 hrs of direct sun with watering every three days. Days were in the low 90’s F. I’m wondering if I have over watered it at this point. I’m just so scared of under watering it in such airy soil. I’ve killed many of these unfortunately. Sadly it’s my favorite plant. I’ve also moved it several time in an attempt to locate the best spot. My choices are limited. Can anyone tell me if it looks like it’s gotten too wet. I’m concerned because the new growth is leaning to the side.

Yeah. I found the bottom leaves drooping the other day and discovered that they appears to be the indicator of when to water. Temps are near 100 so it’s gonna be hard for anything to look good.
