How to recognize over watered pelargonium.And what to do.

in summer we getting nice and sunny days,and some times even weeks(not very often in Ireland 😀) If plants are in glasshouse and temperatures rise up to 35-40 degrees C,and it hold up for couple days,plants are in stress and naturally they can go dormant.It mean,that roots 'going to sleep' and do not use water what you give it.Thinking that now i must water more then before,you maybe give water more then usual.And plant ends up sitting in hot bath of mud.Even couple days in that kind of environment  will make roots to rot.And plant dies from roots,still standing up.
I have here some photos of over watered pelargonium,yes i did same,i did over water some,and mostly it happen if plant is planted in too big pot,or i used wrong compost what not dry out to fast.
And bit about care of pelargoniums in summer watch here
  What to do if happen to over water pelargonim?Take top cuttings if not to late,,there is no cure to save plant 😭
Yep,still looks ok,and have flower buds too.

Do you see top leaves folding up?



There is nothing to save,and some creatures already feast there

Look at them 😟
