I live in Utah, and we deal with that in the spring like crazy just tons of rain. I have found that if I let everything pretty much dry completely before I water again I don’t get root rot.

Just make sure everything has proper drainage. You can mark “rained” on a group or an individual plant if you’d like. It makes it so it skips the next watering.
