Thanks all.
Definitely not drought - I've stayed on top of that and we've had plenty of rain, so I couldn't dry them out if I'd wanted to. I've also fertilized enough I think (I happen to use organic).
Why the one plant has wilted so much I have no idea. Ironically, that's the one I've taken the most discolored leaves off.
I don't think you're being a jerk, Worth! We all have a limited amount of time and make priorities. To my inexperienced eye, the one wispy plant required heavy pruning to be saved, but I didn't think the others were so bad, so I didn't think it was worth my time pruning them. But seeing you put it so bluntly, I see that removal of discolored leaves should always be a high priority. Also, I think I have the beginner's tendency of being scared to cut!
