if you could convince 'someone who isn't you' to post some pics, or even just more details about the situation, it would be easier to help.

that being said, maybe some kind of wick set-up would work, no danger of flooding, you just need a big enough reservior (that's where having more details would help)

for example, get a small kiddie pool, fill it with water (or nutrient solution) and put some milk crates in for your plants to sit on.
then, repot your plants, including a wick coming out the bottom of the new pot (place your wick in the pot so that it goes well up into the pot, and old tee-shirts make nice wicks)
then, just dangle the wicks into the water and go do your thing, if you've used a big enough reservior, when you return, your plants will still be alive, lol, maybe, lol

anyway, good luck
justanotherbozo Reviewed by justanotherbozo on . Growing Question SWIM knows this is probably the wrong place to ask but for some reason the Growing section wouldn't allow me to post a new thread. Question is how long can SWIM go with watering their plants? Going on vacation for like a month and they'd hate to hire someone to do it. Kinda stuck for ideas at this point. SWIM mean they are sorta a low maintainance plant, right? Rating: 5
