If your plants are in pots, you can rig up a temporary wick watering system.

De-pot your plant, drill some 5/8" holes (3-4) in the bottom, drop some 5/8" nylon ropes through those and fray about 3-4" of the ends. Drop the plant back in the pot. Rig up a reservoir (storage tub's good) and put some planks across it for the plants. Drop the ropes into the reservoir (fray that end too). The pot bottom should be no more than about 6-8" above the waterline.

Voila, instant absentee watering system.

Surgery sucks. Hang in there, man.
Al B. Fuct Reviewed by Al B. Fuct on . Need Advice ASAP (Please) Sometime within the next couple of days I'm going to have to go into the hospital for surgery. I don't know if I'm going to be in the hospital for a couple days or more than a week and I won't know until I actually am in the hospital. (I may need an angioplasty - I may need an arterial bypass. The former is wham, bam, thank you ma'am - the latter is like getting run over with a truck.) Soooo - what the hell can I do with my plants?
