A method I use for babying plants in medium that’s too-water-retentive is to water the pot thoroughly, let the pot drain, then set the pot on a dry fluffy towel with the drain holes in contact with the towel. The towel pulls out all the “extra” water that would otherwise be sitting in the pore spaces and potentially killing roots. This helps make sure there’s as much air in the root zone as possible until it’s time to repot. Paper towels work too but you need quite a few, so I strongly suggest cloth towels, old shirts, or whatever absorbent material you have handy.
