What to do if I over water a plant?? Tips from Bobbie’s Flowers in Tempe, Az
Author: BobbiesFlowersAugust 5, 2011
If you think you’ve hopelessly waterlogged a plant, try these tips:
- Tip the plant on its side for a few minutes to allow the water to drain out.
- Cover the top of the soil with paper towels to absorb the extra moisture. Replace them with dry paper towels when they become saturated.
- If the plant starts to wilt or lose its leaves, repot it right away with fresh soil into a container that has good drainage.
