The first challenge of pot culture is watering: too much water (in the case of inadequate drainage), and your plants will drown; not enough water (in the case of an oversight a day or two), and some of your plants dry out.
Find the right balance, making sure that all trays that you use have a drainage hole and a two inch layer of porous material such as rock in the bottom of the pot. Remember also that, since you do not plant in soil, moisture evaporates quickly. Tell yourself that you will need to water the potted plants every day during the summer.
Give your plants Potted a drink rich in nutrients made from compost tea : put a shovel full of compost in a bucket, fill it with water and let sit for a day or two. Then use this tea to water your plants.
