I've been checking the soil of the Oyster Plant and it is still very,very wet. I took the pot out of the plastic cup it came in and noticed standing water in there. I double checked... no one in my family watered this. I haven't. I have the pot outside of the cup to get more air flow to the base The top is still really damp. Is that good for it?

I am tempted to repot the thing, adding some new potting soil. Should I try and remove the original soil from around the roots? I know my Ohio Tradescantia likes moist, but the tag mentions to water the plant when the soil feels dry.

Any suggestions? The leaves look the same as when I got it.
Thank you. Smiling
