Hello everyone! This may seem like a stupid question but I’m a new plant mom with six plants and i’m leaving town for about a week and don’t have anyone to come in to care for them while i’m away… what should I do? or will they be fine?

What plants are they?

I would just water them before you leave. They should be fine. You just don’t want to overwater the ones that are prone to root rot. It’s always better to underwater than it is to overwater.

Thank you!

Not a stupid question! We’re all learning :)  
Your plants will be fine for a week! Water the ones that will need it in the next few days. If they’re in a bright window you could move them back a little bit so they won’t dry out so fast. Honestly they’d probably be okay if they received very little light

Thanks so much!
