If your plant leaves' color is alright, but they are becoming out of shape or deformed, stop using miracle gro on them. The deformation of leaves occurs when you are using too much miracle-gro on them. Weakened plants from either the stems or the roots are a sign of overdosing fertilizers.
While fertilizer used in the right quantities can indeed promote houseplant growth, when overdoing it, you hinder the very growth you want. In fact, you're slowly killing your plant, and so its foliage, stems, or roots may be undersized. They'll also look brittle, crinkled, wilted, or limp.
Yes, over fertilized plants can recover with proper care. To help them recover, you should flush the soil with water to remove excess nutrients. Adjusting the watering schedule and providing adequate sunlight can also aid in the recovery process.
Standard Miracle-Gro “all purpose plant food” fertilizers are synthetic and should not be used in organic gardens.

Why Water After Fertilizing? Watering after fertilizing washes the fertilizer off of the grass blades and into the soil, where it can get to work nourishing your lawn. It's also important because if fertilizer sits too long without being watered in, it can burn the grass.
The simple answer is no you can't. You would have intense concentrations of fertilizers, pockets of nothing but fertilizers. Soon as the roots hit it the plant would die. Any fertilizer is always well mixed in with a large amount soil to avoid just that problem.
The good news is that most plants will bounce back between 7-14 days if they're given proper care (which includes rehydration). If this isn't possible because major damage was done or little healthy root system exists then expect about 2 weeks until improvement can be seen.
