My mother in law âwateredâ it 2 days ago, but she did it from the bottom in a dish(not my style) and when I came back from my small getaway and checked on it, this Chinese Evergreen (Chyna), now looks like this. Will she be alright?

Courtney PThe dang mother in laws!! Does it need more water? Looks like the bottom leaf needs to be chopped anyway?

Wolfen đșBottom watering isn't bad. But it will depend on how long she left it in the bowl, and how far down the roots are. If she means she just put water in the saucer... it probably got barely any water.

When I came back. It was still sitting in a huge bowl of water and the bottom felt super soaked. Iâm sure itâs not bad, I just donât water Chyna like that so maybe it was too much for her?

OliviaBased on your description here and the photos you shared, it definitely seems like she got overwatered. Not great that she sat in a huge bowl of water for a couple of days since that could cause root rot, so if she doesn't improve after she dries out and gets back to her normal schedule, check the roots, but I think she'll bounce back!

Should I have her sit out in the sun today to dry her up or not a good idea?

MattL+1 for probably overwatered. I would just stop watering until youâre sure itâs dried out. Just keep telling Planta you watered it, but donât. Once the soil dries out sheâll perk up. If she doesnât recover in a week or so, you can go into save mode and repot her in new dry soil.

AlyssaIâd repot stat in dry soil and soak the roots in a hydrogen peroxide water solution for about ten minutes before putting into the new soil

maxin my experience, a plant thatâs been overwatered once doesnât automatically mean root rot. i would let her dry out for a while, and if she doesnât improve by the next time you would normally water her, then pull her out and take a look at the roots. she was probably a little shocked too by the different watering style. but i think sheâll bounce back! she looks healthy
