Time Away

[zarathustra]

I was wondering if there's any trick to make it so your plantss don't die when you go away for a few days and you can't have anyone water them (like if there extremely secret). Has anyone out there ever heard of some sort of device or something that could keep my little babies goin'?

Use a wick. The best results I get with oil lamp wicks, they are the wide flat ones. Here is a pic to explain it.

Wow, I can honestly say that I would have never thought of that.
Thank you kindly!

just use COTTON rope as a wick
put each cut end into plant, and into water
make sure water pot is big enough to last the amount of time you are gone
