I’ve seen people suggest those watering globe things (only releases a bit at a time as the plant needs) or to place a bowl of water with a string that has one end in the water and one in the plant. It also depends on how long your vacation is - I usually water some early before I go (ones that need watering soon) and the rest right when I get back!

Yes ! Going to try water the needy ones with a meter and do a couple of globes . Thanks!

Underwatering is better than overwatering….

Yes that’s is true! :)

I’ve held off on watering everyone until a day before I leave, then do a deep watering. Most of the plants have done fine after a week away, some were a little droopy, but nobody died!  
If you have anyone checking on pets or your place for you, you could ask them to water the extra dramatic plants.

I do have a couple of dramatics ones. I bought a meter from Amazon for them . Thanks!

I took care of my sister’s plants by signing in to her Planta account.
