Does anyone have any advice for traveling away and not being able to take care of plants. I’m only gone for a week, so I’m planning on just leaving all my plants ready for the week near windows for plenty of light and keep ac consistent. Anything else?

I don’t think so. Just make sure they watered before you leave and I’m sure they will be OK. Just make sure to check up on them and give them lots of love once you’re home.

No not really

Less light reduces water uptake, and may actually be better for anyone you’re worried may dry out within a week.

Don’t over water before you leave! And I would close the curtains because your plants will need a little less water that way and remember that it’s easier to revive a dry plant than a wet one. Have a great trip 😁

They’ll be fine - a week is not long for a plant.
