# Tried this “plant hack” for a few of my plants when I went on…

_Publicado por YinDeezy el 2026-02-22_

Tried this “plant hack” for a few of my plants when I went on vacation for 2 weeks. Think I saw someone recommend it here or on Reddit. Worked surprisingly well for my pothos, marrantas and Scins. The pots don’t even need water after two weeks with the same lighting conditions. 👌🏽

What is the hack?

#### YinDeezy respondió el 2026-02-22

lol. Wrapping plants in clear plastic bags to maintain moisture and higher humidity. Most of my plants in smaller pots would be bone dry and starting to wilt after two weeks of no watering.

My larger plants in 8-10+ pots were fine. My scins on moss poles are automatic irrigation systems.

Good to know 😎.  
Thanks for the tip!
