We had a torrential downpour earlier this week. I skipped watering for a day but then began again. The plants are yellowing %26amp; drooping. Is it possible to overwater %26amp; if so, how do I make this right?
I have some wave petunias %26amp; million bells that started drooping but the soil is wet-could they be overwatered?
Petunias like you describe probably are too wet. Usually, when you see chlorotic foliage, the plants need to dry a bit and to be fed. Next time they're dry enough to water, hit them with a shot of Miracle Gro or Peter's, or your favorite flowering plant fertilizer.
Reply:Sounds like they were overwatered. Do your containers have good drainage? If not, sorry, it could be too late. They are heavy feeders but drainage is essential; roots need air too.
Reply:let it go for a few days without watering.. they will right themselves
