My plant needs help fast

[Jessilyn78]

Think my plant has root rot and ph level is to high. Any suggestions on trying to save it? It is in the ground outdoors. Weve been having a major heat wave. Should I dig up plant and rinse soil and put in a pot so I can bring indoors? The soil smelled rancid and was really mushy. The roots appeared to be white but could have been light brown.

Sorry but pic 2 looks quit dead to me, at this point you would have nothing to loose transplanting it. It probably will not survive, if you do maybe use something like voodoo juice or great white to promote root growth.
I had too much wet this year as well, I took a 55 gallon food grade plastic barrel and made rings to rise the soil above the water (top and bottom became drip pans for 20 gallon pots). You can see these rings in these pics,,,, I also dug drainage around the area.

Genius idea with the plastic barrel!

Thanx! I like it, it has worked out well, and I am sourcing more 55 gallon drums! From each I get 2 of these rings and 2 drip pans for my 20 gallon pots, and cost is less then the 2 drip pans (in quality product)

Just in case a barrel rolls my way, how did you end up cutting it?

I would say that 2nd pic looks beyond recovery. Sorry

Sorry to say but it looks like you've drowned her.
