Does anyone go in between houses bc of parents? I have plants at both houses but my plants at my moms need more maintenance then my dads. But I’ll looking into getting more plants at my dads. Any idea for not killing them when I leave for a week back and forth  
Moms- prayer plant, nerve plant, bunny wear cactus, 5 carnivorous plants, some succulents and a ficus pumila var. quercifolia  
Dads- bunny eat cactus, christmas aloe and succulents

I have found transitioning to LECA helps maintain plants when I’m gone for extended periods. You can also try glass watering globes.

The only ones from your list I’d be worried about is the Nerve \& carnivorous plants. I would put those ones wherever you spend the most time at since they need to be kept consistently moist and going into summer probably watered every 2-3 days. Maybe look into a self watering pot for the Nerve.

And try planting your carnivorous plants into a deeper or bigger pot with no drainage holes (all together in one) kinda creating a carnivorous bog type arrangement. There are tons of visual tutorials on how to do this on you-tube. That way you can soak it and leave it will be fine for a week. Make sure it gets either direct sun or a grow light tho.
