You will want to treat this as a salt leach. Wash off your plants pretty well, and flush the soil around it with quite a bit of water. You might want to feed after the leaching. The most sensitive area will be the leaves, though. As long as you wash them off, there shouldn't be any major damage. Likely your plants will survive. They just might burn a little.
