In the two pages of notes I left about my 16 plants, I neglected to give her an amount to water, and it turns out that her idea of "normal" watering is way too much. What can I do?? Two Peace Lilies...she watered on Wed and they were soaked when I returned today. Wilted, but no yellow yet. One brand new Aglonema (Chinese Evergreen) - got it for Christmas just before I left. Looks fine, but also soaked. Philodendron scandens - droopy, soaked, just looks sad - no yellow. Drac marginata - told her to make moist - is soaked. Small, young plant - no cane showing yet. What do I do? I'm new at this and I don't want my babies hurt!! Thanks! Jude
drain any excess water and wait. there is a product called oxygen plus which has a small amount of hydrogen peroxide with a bit of fertilizer that may help. I wouldnt bother.
Just don't water them for a while. It's all you can do really outside of repotting which would be overkill and not the right time of year anyway. This is why I like extra perlite in my potting soil. Tom
