hi, my daughter's plant has been flagging even when the clouds are out. we have had 7.5 inches of rain since july the first with over 5 inches of it comeing july 5th from tropical storm cindy. we are forcasted for 2 more tonight.
could the plant be flagging from just having too much rain on it. all the plants look kinda bad and i think from the rain. what do you guys think, could it be from too much water.
thanks,
doug

Yes...they will flag with too high a soil moisture.

Deprivation of oxygen, in the soil, is a sneaky one. It hopefully will not lead, to root rot. Do the best you can, to let the patch dry out.

Yepper...even the bacterial population changes & the aerobic buggers start using what little O2 there is in the anaerobic environment.
