Nana plant
Iām going on vacation this summer. Iām wondering what everyone does to care for your plants when youāre away? I donāt have anyone to look after them. Iām concerned about watering. Iāll be gone for 3 weeks

Liz WI would ask around if there was someone you could pay to do it. We have a couple of teenagers that do it for us. They donāt let me pay them but they ask me to sign a form showing they did Volunteer Hours. Our High Schools here in New Hampshire require students to do a certain amount of Volunteer Hours over the course of their time there in order to graduate. Doesnāt hurt to look into that.

My outside plants are all on drip. I should have clarified Iām talking about my indoor plants. I wouldnāt be comfortable having strangers in our home while weāre away.

Can you move your house plants outside while youāre gone? I move 90% of mine outside for the summer. Then you could have someone come water those. Sounds like that may he your only option. Just suggesting.

I have run about 2ā of water in my kitchen sink and set my pots in it. That worked for me.

ChristinaIf you have some more sensitive plants, some nurseries offer services to plant sit. You just take them to the nursery and then they are looked after by other plant nerdsš could call around and see

MollyI do have a lot of plants in selfwatering pots,, but for the ones that are not in selfwatering pots, I use this,, and it has worked really well for me when I'm out of town. . .

fueyIāll be the first to say i struggle with any drip system, but i think thatās just me and my lack of patience with it. i have seen people keep plants in the bathtub with very little water at the bottom. it keeps up ambient humidity and gives some water for the soil to suck up to the roots as needed

SJI had a lot of luck with bagging several of my plants during a recent 10 day trip, specifically my spider plant, African violets, and Thanksgiving cacti did great with the closed system for humidity.

YinDeezyI did the same thing during a recent 2 week trip. I put my small and medium sized plants in clear garbage bags. Worked great for me. Had some other plants on timed drip irrigation. That worked too, but it did require some testing to dial in the right water amounts so the pots didnāt get over watered
