janet_a is on a distinguished road
try watering less (every 7 days, min) and definitely invest in an oscillating fan; i'm up in MD and have a fan on the phals (about 12-15 ft away) 22/7. i knock the speed down and increase the distance in the winter, when it gets *extremely* dry in the house, but i keep it on. i water on saturdays, and put the fan up to high speed all day long to make sure the leaves dry off.
