DYING PLANTS


Question
DEAR JEFF, I HAVE 2 PLANTS THAT I AM CONCERNED ABOUT ONE IS A PLANT THAT THEY CALL A JELLY BEAN PLANT AND THE OTHER IS ONE THEY CALL HEN AND CHICKS, I DO NOT KNOW THEIR REAL NAMES. I LIVE IN GEORGIA AND WE HAVE RECEIVED ALOT OF RAIN AND I AM REALLY WORRIED THAT THESE PLANTS ARE GOING TO DIE AS THE RESULT OF BEING SO WET. WHAT CAN I DO? THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. JAN  

Answer
Dear Jan,

I'm sorry that I don't know what a Jelly Bean Plant is. Your Hens and Chicks could be a number of different plant (Echeveria, Sempervivum, Aeonium for several).

At any rate, take them out of the pots/ground or move the plants into pots into areas that don't get so much water. You're quite correct, these plants can die from overwatering more quickly than underwatering.

Kind regards,

Jeff
