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.


The correct potting mix is the key. My do-it-yourself recipe is for a
mix that drains well and does not get soggy unless, of course, the pot
is set in standing water. Even then, as soon as the pot is removed from
standing water, the mix drains and does not remain soggy.

See my http://www.rossde.com/garden/garden_potting_mix.html.

Thanks, I'll try this combination.

It seems like soil would be perfect, if you could flush it now and
then and clean out any excess fertilizer or whatever builds up in
the bottom of the container.
