Tips For Indoor Plants Care While You’re On Vacation
When you go on vacation, your plants at home still need care. They especially need water, ventilation, humidity and light. Put all your plants in one room, where they will have light (not direct sunlight) and air during your vacation. Arrange them in a way across the sun or in a place that is closer to the light source.
Place the plants in a room that has little ventilation. Place them a little farther away from windows or from a heat source in order to slow the process of evaporation of water from the soil. Place a wide bowl filled with water to increase air humidity and make sure that the room does not have too much ventilation in order to maintain a relatively high level of humidity during your absence.
The best solution is to have an irrigation system that will take care of your plants during your vacation. The use of auto-watering using probes is an efficient and inexpensive solution.

Enter a cone made of clay in the soil (immersed in water abundance). The bottle upside down should be connected to them. While the clay is porous, the water slowly penetrates the soil with capillary action for several days (depending on how quickly the soil dries), and keeps the soil moist. You can also use a self-irrigation tape.
The water in the bowl slowly transfers to the soil through the drainage holes. In this way, the plant can be watered for several days. The use of hydrogel-water is the absorption of crystals. It is also an efficient and comfortable solution for irrigation of pots. First fill them with water, make holes on the packages so that the side with the holes is in close contact with the container with the soil. When the pot with the soil starts to dry, the water is released slowly and the absorption from the crystalline polymer in the bag begins.
