For some plants, overwatering is certain death.

This applies, for example, to araucaria, overwatering of which leads to inevitable death, or to gardenia, beloved by many flower growers.

But even if the flower is well-disposed to moisture, too much of it has never done anyone any good.

If you have made such a mistake, the first thing you should do is wait until the soil dries.

After this, it is recommended to resort to a magical remedy in this situation – hydrogen peroxide.

The solution of this medicinal product is able to saturate the soil with oxygen and loosen the earth from the inside.

After such “reanimation measures” you can be sure that the roots of the flower will begin to breathe better, which means that the plant will come to life.

To revive the plant, it is enough to pour three percent hydrogen peroxide into the soil that has dried out after overwatering, in a volume equal to several presses of the tube.
