FAQ About Indoor Plant Rescues and Rehabilitation

Overwatering is a common problem that can lead to root rot, which damages the plant's ability to absorb nutrients and water. When roots are submerged in water for too long, they can suffocate and start to decay due to lack of oxygen. This condition can be identified by soft, brown roots and a foul smell emanating from the soil. To rescue an overwatered plant, ensure proper drainage and allow the soil to dry out before the next watering.
