What is the best way to dry out a plant's soil (without drying out the plant)
after flushing or overwatering?

If anyone has any tips, that would be great.

It seems to me that the greatest obstacle to flushing plants in soil,
is that the soil remains wet for far too long.

I had that "over wet" problem last year with Dahlia tuber sprouts.....

Replace the soil immediately. Use new, dry potting soil,
not new, potting mix !!

I had many, many fungus gnats in my basement & in my sun room.

Yes, I did lose about 50% of my 350 young Dahlias to black stem
rot. It cost me $13 per 20" healthy Dahlia plant at
at a local Wisc. greenhouse on June 1, 06 to replace my 30
Dahlia Garden weaklings.... As a result of the stem rot,
I gave very few Dahlia plants to Neighbors & relatives.

My new problem is that I dried out 50% of my 90 Stored Dahlia Tuber
clumps.
More tuber & plant purchases are in my May 07 schedule..
