Guys I need your opinions! I’m going out of town in a week or so and I will be gone for two weeks. Some people I know said that you can put them in the bathroom with a hot tub running and the condensation will water it but I don’t know if it would work. I want to keep these plants alive and need some tips! Thanks!
If you mean leaving the tub on and running for 2 weeks I would not recommend that. Look at your watering schedules to see who will need water, maybe invest in some watering spikes for the time being. Or, maybe wait to water for now until the day you leave and give 'em all a nice soak. The two weeks shouldn't hurt

I agree with Chase but another couple of options could be to put them outside if possible and ask a neighbor to check on them. That’s what I do when I’ll be gone for more than a week.
1 likeI would try to synchronize everyone’s watering to next week for one (as in the day before you leave). I put finicky plants in ziploc bags to keep moisture (new transplants and Alocacia). For a two week trip, I would start reducing the amount of light they all get. Less photosynthesis means taking up less water. Grouping plants increases humidity (therefore less watering need). I’d also ask someone to check in if possible. If you have any snake plants or cactus, you should be ok. Maybe try and find someone in your local plant community who will plant sit your most finicky babies for you. Also look into water wicking DIYs and watering globes…
