I bought a pink splash about a week ago, and I watered it WAY too much. I put it in a porcelain pot and I think it may now have root rot. Any chance of saving it??

I would say no. Sorry.

You won’t know for sure about the root rot until you get it out of the pot. So go ahead and remove it from the pot carefully and shake away the soil surrounding the roots, and if the roots look alright then repot it into new, dry soil. And make sure you have good drainage in your pot moving forward!

It's definitely worth a try. My experience with polka dot plant has not been encouraging though.

If there’s any leaves still alive, either clip and propagate (though propagation never worked for me with them) or try and remove all dead leaves, so it gets sun.
