I'm heading out of town for work for ~month (26 days). I have a little more than a dozen indoor plants. It's already enough of a chore finding someone to watch someone to watch the pupper while I'm gone, so I don't plan on getting anyone to come in to water the plants. I plan on giving the plants a good soaking right before I leave and upon returning and they are mostly low-light, resilient type plants.
But does anyone have experience with using a clothesline water system? I read online that you can leave a bucket of sitting water and run cotton rope (I've got some cotton clothesline) from the bucket to ~2" into the soil near the base of the plant to keep it hydrated. As well, I have some of the more humid-loving plants on pebble trays that I'll fill before leaving (but will surely be dry by the time I return).
Thoughts?
