I've recently overferted my plants, they started to wilt, looking heavy and suffocated...the only thing I could think to do is flush out the soil with some water and try to get some of that Miracle Gro out of the soil...with one plant, I used plain water...with the other, I used green tea (no sugar), just to see the difference. Both plants wilted heavily from the excess water, but once it drained off, I noticed the bigger plant with the green tea flush stood back up from its wilt much more quickly than the smaller plant with just water...there was some yellowing, but it didn't look unhealthy...now both my plants are standing tall and beautiful...I believe the green tea helped to detox the plant of those excess nutrients more quickly. It had its yellowing effect, but that's disappearing now and both plants are recovering from the topping I did about a week ago....
