@Skiekitty I have found that after a few years my AVs start looking droopy, however, it is not for lack of water, but because they need to be repotted. I found this out the hard way! When I took them out of the pots, I found that the roots had woven themselves into a mat around the edge of the pot and because they were in self-watering pots, the moisture couldn't get to the plant.
