Overwatering is one of the main reasons that plants die especially in containers
New plant parents take care of their plants too much that they end up suffocating or overpamphering the plants
You will realize this mistake only when you see your plants looking sad or probably dying
But there is a way to save your plants with these tips
1. Shift the plant to a dry spot and stop watering until the soil is dry
2. Remove the flowers, fruits, and new growth so that plant can focus its energy on survival
3. Remove the soggy or infested soil and replace it with new dry soil
4. Cut off the decayed roots of the plants and replant them
