I'm about to leave my plants for around 3 weeks, and I'm worried about them dying while I'm away. Does anyone have any advice for making sure they will stay alive while I'm gone?

I try to make sure everyone gets watered right before I leave and make sure the thermostat is set for a comfortable temperature…but I’ve only been gone for about a week at a time. I’m curious to see if anyone else in the comments has used watering devices for plants that need more moisture.

I’ve never tried it, but they have those water like “bulbs” that you can stick into the soil to keep them watered while you are away. Have you considered trying one of those??

I’ve seen people also use string and run it from the pot to a bowl of water, but I haven’t tried it. It might work better for smaller plants.

Oh my... I'm definitely tied to my house now, lol.

Have a friend or neighbor come and check on them. 3 weeks is a long time for most of them to go without water.

But make sure the person knows what to do—the last time I had a friend babysit a plant she watered it everyday and I came home to a mushy dead plant!

Which ones do you think could comfortably survive that long without water?

Cactus and succulents, snake plant, maybe ZZ
