ok, I have a question about rain watering the plants, if I where to go and water my plants everday, would rain cause them to be way over watered? Do I need to keep rainwater out of the pot?

Know the weather. go to weather.com and anticipate your local weather. Plus you dont need to water everyday for outdoors. unless it is extremely hot.

Free water that is delivered for you is a good deal. Try to take it into consideration.

If it has been raining I normally dont water my plant. I'd prefer to give it the 100% natural water, without chlorine and shit in it that tap water has.

Rain water is the natural way. Check PH of the tap water if you are using it

And if your in your wet season, amend the soil with some lava rock, or something porous, to help drainage.
