There’s a Wiki How article I thought was pretty good. I liked the idea of scooping of some of the surface soil and flushing (and replacing the dirt on top). You can also repot with new dirt.

Flushing plant with water

Water and repot. But if things go further south, propagate them. As a point though, plants that like to be dried out before watering don’t need to be fertilized as often because they store the nutrients and water in their leaves or their rhizomes (species depending)
