Oh no! You’ve overwatered a much-loved plant and now it’s suffering! Don’t worry, Aaron is here to help:
🌿 First, remove the plant from the pot
🪴 Then, remove all the wet soil from the plant’s roots
🌿 It can take a long time for soil to dry, so instead, mix some dry soil with the wet in the pot to reduce the overall moisture level
🪴 If you’re worried about bad bacteria growing on your plant’s roots as a consequence of overwatering, use hydrogen peroxide or alcohol to kill the bad guys
🌿 But! Hydrogen peroxide will kill ALL the microbes (good and bad) in the soil
🍂 So — add compost or BIOS back in to put biology/life back into the soil
💗 This will help your plant to start to thrive again and feed its roots
