overwatering succulents


Question
I accidently left my burrito plant in standing water overnight. The pot feels really heavy this morning. What is the best way to dry it out? Can it be saved?

Thanks, Vee

Answer
Vee,

Remove the drain tray and let it sit in the sink overnight so it drains out as much water as possible. If the drain tray can't be removed si it in the sink and ilt it so it drains out as much as possible. Then hang it in the brightest location posible leave the window coverings open and say a prayer. Do not water again for at least 2 weeks. It is better to water succulent plants from the top like they get rained on than soaking them for just this reason. Good luck.
