I am going on a 3-week trip and want to ask people if there are ways you recommend for automatic watering. Thanks!

P.S. I have a zebra plant, elephant ear, rattlesnake plant, echeveria, and copper spoon!

You could set up a DIY wick system, use a self watering pot, or try those watering globes (idk if they work great because I haven’t used them myself)

I agree with Tanya. I was away for two weeks but tried those watering glass globes and it did work for my plants!

Thank you Tanya and T! I was googling different ways to do it and watched some YouTube videos. It looks like it can work, so I wanted to see if anybody has good experience with it. Thank you for sharing your experience :) It’s helpful!
