on vacation

someone please look after my plants.....


found from net, i love the best answer that i never heard before :)...
sound like a piece of installation work.

(asker: I'll be away for a few months...how do I keep my plant alive while I'm away over the summer? )

best answer from Francios JV:Go to your nearest hospital/clinic/drugstore and ask them if you can get a number of empty drip bags (those things they use in hospital to slowly administer medicine/liquids) with the control thing on the tube still intact. Refill a lot of them and tie them one way or another above the plant and set the drip to a very slow drip rate. Please test the volume it will administer and work out how long it will last. Possibly you will be able to go away and come back in a few months time with the plant well watered and still alive.

You must get a lot of the drips to be able to set it at a very slow rate but the quantity of water must be sufficient to sustain the plant. Alternatively you must be able to organize a big container with the drip gadget on to last the time that you are gone.
Hope your plant survives.

If you are one of those who talk to the plant, you must leave a recording of your talking on a timer as well !
