A perfect balance of moisture is essential for plants, or else they will be too dry or overwatered.
In gardening, you can't always control the level of moisture, because a heavy rain can easily flood your garden beds.
Here are a few tips on how to save your plants when they're overwatered.
Drain the Excess Water
Check if there's excess water in the plant's saucer or pot. If yes, carefully tip the pot to let the extra water drain out.
Remove Waterlogged Soil
Gently remove the plant from the pot and inspect the soil. If it's waterlogged and heavy, consider replacing it with fresh, well-draining soil.
Let it Breathe
Allow the plant to get some fresh air. If possible, place it in a location where it can get good air circulation.
Find the Right Balance
Going forward, adjust your watering routine. Let the soil dry out a bit before watering again.
Stick your finger into the soil; if it feels damp, hold off on watering.
Trim Damaged Parts
If you notice any yellow or mushy parts on the plant, gently trim them off. This helps the plant focus on recovering.
Monitor Sunlight
Ensure the plant gets the right amount of sunlight. Most plants prefer indirect sunlight, so find a suitable spot for recovery.
Be Patient
Give your plant some time to bounce back. Plants are resilient, and with the right care, they can recover from overwatering.
