I will be out of town for 4 days.. which plants will suffer the most from missing a watering? I’m concerned about my Syngoniums, alocasias and Hoyas the most..

    If you have any plants like calatheas that you haven’t watered in a little bit then I would water them before you leave

    All of those plants can go 4 days without watering if you water before you leave, assuming they need water. My only issues are with propagating plants in 1” and 2” pots. I put those in clear ziplock bags after watering them since I have no humidity controlled plant cabinets. The bags act like a little terrarium. The plants last for weeks in the bag. Not of cacti, of course.

    They all should be fine for only 4 days. Alocasias may be fussy if you’re experiencing warm weather. But even still Sunny’s advice is good 👍
