First off I'd like to mention that I'm VERY new to horticulture.
I have a fuchsia that's been potted for a 5 days now. It was potted with a basic organic potting soil and some fish meal, in a hanging pot with no drainage.
A few days ago I watered it a little overzealously.
IT LOOKS LIKE WET SALAD NOW!! Despite the fact that some of the leaves are drying and brittle.
Also the soil has started to form mold.
It was originally inside infront of window facing east. It's now been movd outside facing south.
I don't know what to do, if anything, to save this plant!
CAN ANYONE HELP????
Thanks,
Marc}

It may be too late Marc. If the roots drowned then the plant can no longer take up nutrients. You might take it out of the pot, shake off the new soil you added leaving the root ball intact, put a hole in the pot and replace the soil with dry mix out of the bag. Moisture from the root ball will leach out into the new soil a bit. Hope it's not too late.Good luck!
