TRICK
Some plants need water around 3 times per week. If you aren’t going to be around, here are a few tricks to try. First is the wick method. You get a cotton string and fill a container with water. Elevate the water container. Place one end of the string in the container. Place the other end in the plant pot, securing it with some soil. Gravity will do your work for you and your plants will be happy, win-win situation.
Another method is to put a few holes in the cover of a bottle. Fill the bottle with water and put the neck in the soil. This will allow the water to drip slowly, ensuring that your plant is ok in your absence.
