Lol I like your ideas I thought about having a webcam with water on demand I could code a web script that when you press the button it water but then I'm looking into big costs. Wireless webcam or spare pc with one umm microcontrolers the whole 9 yards.

Toilet idea pretty good seeing as I have a pipe not to far that I can tap into. Maybe I should bind 2 rubbermaids together 40gal? I'm going to buy a little air bubbled thing a ma bob so the water isn't just sitting.

I've talked to my father and he's gonna come over and wter the plant and check on it while I'm gone problem is he can only do it on weekends as he lives far away and works all week.
