I'm gonna be gone for a week and a half and I'm not sure how to get my 90+ plants cared for. Our neighbors are coming over and I'd like to have 3 groups or less of plants that they can do the same thing with but with the rarer ones I have it's near impossible. Any tips on making it easier for them?
Most plants will be fine going that long without water. Just water them before you leave. You could also fill up your bathtub enough to place your plants in it, when they get thirsty they will drink from the bottom. 😊
3 likes Yeah... It's just I'm in a dry place and have quite a few tropicals. I think I'll set them up with an auto mister, and the rest should be fine I'm hoping.

Agree with Magnetic garden that most plants will be fine going that long though some may not like it. My calathea is still mad at me for leaving it alone so long back in January. I do have one tip for those plants that will need more water and moisture: buy big, clear plastic bags and put the plants inside of them and seal them. This works like a virtual greenhouse and moisture-loving tropical plants will absolutely love it. I usually just leave all my plants on the counter while I’m gone where they get just a little light.

I give step by step instructions and just have them bottom water everything lol. I don't have nearly as many as you tho.
