Iâm going on a trip, I leave Sunday and I will be back four days later. Does anybody have any tips/recommendations for my plants? I donât feel itâs necessary to get a plant sitter, since Iâm only gone for a little bit, but my plans have been thriving, and I donât want to cause any harm to them. Any advice is appreciated. Thank you!!
Most plants do well being unwatered for at least a week. If you have plants in smaller pots that do tend to dry out before 4 days then you could always place the thirsty ones in a dish of water.

I would say unless they are expecting a watering while you were gone you have nothing to worry about. Even then in my opinion I would rather water them a few days late unless theyâre completely dry the day you leave The other thing Iâd suggest is set your thermostat on auto if itâs hot in your area.

Also less light = less water used.

For plants that like water & humidity: I like to give some water, maybe mist, and then put a clear plastic bag over my plants. It helps keep the humidity in but also lets sun still come through
1 gilla I see this was 2 weeks ago - how did your plants do?
1 gillaMy one succulent shot up, and grew so much. I was trying to water propagate my string of dolphins and it grew mold.. so Iâm not sure what happened there. Some of my others plants looked a little droopy but after I watered them they looked a lot better
