You can repot with dry soil if root rot has started.

You can pull the plant and soil out of the pot to let the soil air dry a few hours. You can add a portable fan to speed up the drying.

Hi Sunny, I just purchased a grow light. Will that help dry up the soil?

The light helps with photosynthesis where the roots will use more water than without adequate lighting. That’s a slow process and the roots could rot waiting for the plant to use water at a faster rate.
