| There are no drying-out products. Trying to replace the wet soil with dry soil often has disastrous consequences as all of most of the remaining roots get damaged in the process. I think your best bet is the keep the plant in a warm, sunny location until the soil dries out naturally. Unless a plant is badly overpotted in a very large pot, it should dry out on its own presently.

| You can also try sitting the container on top of a thick towel, in hopes it will draw out some of the excess moisture. ~ I'm an old gal who still loves playing in the dirt! ~ Playing in the dirt is my therapy ... and I'm in therapy a lot! |

| If there's a drain hole - push the end of paper towel or rag in, set next to a sink, and let the towel(wick) hang down into a sink, should wick some water down ..come into the peace of wild things..-Wendell Berry Life is a buffet (anon) |
