I took my plant babies outside for some “sunnin’” and while I was away my pothos and Swiss cheese plant blew over in to the pool!! They are drenched! What should I do now?? 😤🥺

I’d just let them both dry out however much is specific to plant as if they’ve just been watered. I don’t think it’ll hurt either of them having been drenched on accident. Pothos can be grown in aquariums so they handle water well.

I would run fresh water through the soil to flush out the pool chemicals and wash the leaves/stems. I would monitor their health the next few days for signs of deterioration. 🪴🍀
