# According to Dr. Planta it says that my cucumber plant is underwater…

_Posted by Julie on 2024-08-29_

According to Dr. Planta it says that my cucumber plant is underwater but I watered it today and again tonight and this plant is still not perking up the leaves. Any advice?

My pepper plant looks like this and it is drowning. We had so much rain in such a short time and it’s in a pot, it was literally in a lake of water basically. And the poor thing still hasn’t recovered, but the leaves are doing exactly what your cucumber leaves are doing, so maybe it’s actually too watered?

I had a stem looking like this and when i traced it down to the ground, it turned out it had been damaged down low by something and that's why it was all wilty. I just removed it since the rest of my plant was perfectly healthy!

It might have squash borers inside the stem.
