Overwatered your plant? Do this today to stop root rot before it's too late

Your wilting plant might be suffering from root rot, not thirst. Overwatering creates soggy soil, suffocating roots and inviting fungal infections. Carefully inspect the roots, trim away any mushy, dark ones, and repot in fresh, well-draining soil. Avoid the gravel drainage myth. Patience is key; monitor soil moisture before watering again to give your plant a fighting chance.
