How to make your plants survive the holidays

When indoors, there are many tips that help plants survive one or two weeks of absence. With self-watering pots, irrigation systems, plastic bottles, vacation waterers, timers, and other smart methods, you can ensure your plants will survive and thrive until you return home. In addition to the tips listed below, there are also smart self-watering pots that guarantee your plants will thrive.Self-Watering PotA self-watering pot is a very good vacation watering solution. You pour water into a container in the pot, the water is then absorbed via a strip that provides the plant with water. An easy and effective solution. You fill a container in the pot with water and the water is absorbed via a strip, and then to the plant.Watering GlobeA watering globe is a glass or plastic ball with a bottom part shaped like a funnel. You fill it with water and then insert the globe into the pot with the funnel pointing downwards. It automatically provides water to the plant when needed. If aesthetic is not a concern, you can also use an upside-down plastic bottle with a hole in the top.Vacation WaterersWhen you are on vacation, it is perfect to let your plants water themselves with a vacation waterer. This is a thread that you place with one end in a bucket of water, and the other end in the pot you want to water. Place the bucket higher than your potted plants, so the soil stays moist thanks to capillary action. Larger plants may need two to three waterers to get enough water.Water BathFor plants that need to stay consistently moist and really like water, you can place them in a water bath, either in a bathtub or tub.

On balcony and terrace, you should first ensure that the plants get the right amount of light, for example by placing them on the floor for more shade. This prevents them from drying out too quickly. In addition, you can use a water-saving irrigation system that automatically waters potted plants, flower boxes, and pallet planters through a moisture hose. With a timer, you can determine the plants' watering times and go on vacation without worrying.
