My Container Yellow Squash Got Too Much Rain. Is There Something I Can Do To Correct That?

Question

We had a heavy rainstorm last night and my container plants got over soaked. I’m looking for some way to soak up the excess water with losing my plants

Answer 1

If the container has several drainage holes, it should be fine. If the container does not have enough drainage, try to add holes on the sides near the bottom of the containers to help them drain.

You can move the pots to a shadier area so the plants will take up less water while drying. When the soil dries, move it back to the sunny area.

You also could lightly work in some perlite to aid drainage. Here is more:
