how to water plants when i am out?

Question

i am planning to go out for a month..i have loads of potted plants and dont know how to lookafter them when im out. it will be very hot that time so they would need watering 3-4 times a week. dont want to burden someone else with the responsibility either. any suggestions? help!

Answer 1

Depending on the plant, you can set the plant in a dish full of water, and the plant will take in water as needed. You can't do this with all plants though, and a month may be too long to have a plant unattended. I'd go to Better Homes and Gardens or Miracle Gro's websites. They will have more information on the specific plants you're dealing with. Good luck!

Answer 2

When i go on a holiday i usually put a bottle full of water next to the plant and i use a rope as a conection between the opened bottle and the land in the pot.

Answer 4

Pay your neighbor $50 to water your plants for the month. It's not as if you're asking them to take your mail in and feed and walk your dog too.

Answer 5

Put you plants in the tub. Put enough water in so that each pot bottom is covered, but not enough that the plants float. Close your shower curtain to keep in humidity, and leave.

Answer 6

water crystals

u put them in the soil and they slowly release water

or ask your neighbour - thats what neighbours are for - bring em back a nice gift

or pay a neighbourhood trustworthy kid a few bucks to come water your plants - assuming your potted plants are outside your home not inside

Answer 7

You can get a timer operated sprinkler system.
