Yellowing and wilting after rain
Hi I'm new here and just had a hurricane followed by maybe 5 days of rain and my plants aren't doing too well and I think they might have gotten too much water. I took them inside for the hurricane but didnt realize how much rain was happening after. Theres a lot of yellow and some wilting onna few. Can anyone confirm if that's the issue with these? (Sorry if it looks like spam I'm about to have to post this same thing but for each plant)
5โ pot with drainage

Hey @harristhekat!
Sorry to hear about the hurricane hitting you and affecting your plants! I'd say the excess water is definitely what is happening here.
To help out your plants, obviously avoid watering until they've dried out a bit.๐ I'd also double check that they are all in pots with drainage (and if it's plastic, see if you can't tilt the plant slightly and squeeze the sides of the pot while rotating it to encourage the water to drain). I'd check on them over the next week or so to make sure they aren't sitting in water and definitely bring them in if it's gonna rain again.
With time, heat, and some sunlight, they should perk up again! However, keep an eye out for any continued yellowing cause that might mean a lot of the nutrients leeched out with the water... you may then need to apply a fertilizer that's right for each plant.
I hope this is helpful and keep us updated! ๐

Iโve seen drenched cats that look better than that plant not to be a jerk although I do have that talent.
