Overwatering a plant can cause roots to rot and prevent oxygen from reaching them. The result is root death, which means that they no longer take up water to support the rest of the plant. Leaves droop as they die.
Can droopy plants come back to life?
If the wilted plants' soil feels dry about 1 inch below the soil surface, then the plants probably need water. Revive the plants quickly by setting their pots in a sink filled with room-temperature water. The water should come about halfway up each pot's side.
