# So I transplanted these purple hearts couple weeks ago into this…

_Posted by Heather on 2025-06-21_

So I transplanted these purple hearts couple weeks ago into this metal trough, accidentally overwatered figured the water would soak in just fine and it would be great because it’s been over 100 here, but they sat in water for two days. I finally drilled drainage holes. But between the rabbits and the overwatering my plants look like this anyway to make him come back or do I just pull them out and start all over

It’s already dried out. Time to get new plants.
