I’m headed to Florida in a few days for about 5 days, in case my plants need watering, what should I do?

When I don’t have a plant sitter, I check the moisture of each plant. If they’re a little on the drier side, I’ll go ahead and water right before I leave. If they’re still moist, I’ll wait til I get back. A few days off isn’t long enough to cause problems for most plants. When in doubt, I tend to err on the side of under watering rather than over watering.

You can always water them really good then use a watering globe until you return

Best method that works for me is to keep an inch of water in a basin and let them all soak while you're gone

Put them all in the bathroom and fill the tub with 2-3 inches of water (enough for the plants to sit in but not too much where they float) and shove some wicks from the plants to the water. You can leave this set up for as long as you need if you keep your faucet dripping a little so there’s water constantly filling what the plants drinking. Great for long term set up.

I still always rec a friend to come check and this obviously won’t work for plants who prefer to be more dry.
