Going on Holidays

[Mustansir Billah]

What can be done to water the plants as I am going for Pak tour for 9 to 10 days and there is no one to water them?

[Farhan Ahmed]

You can try bottom watering ...place the pots in water filled trays. Or you can put them in bath room, loosely draped in plastic after letting the showering open for few minutes.


Or you can ask neighbors...LOL

[Hamad Ahmed Kisana]

or place common plastic beverage bottles of 1.50 liters with small holes on both sides so water drips very slowly. place one or two bottles on each pot.

[Mustansir Billah]

Good ideas of bottle but cannot ask neighbour because their own garden looks like desert.

[Syed Adnan]

shift them inside home and put the AC on, if they are pots, 10 days will not kill them.

[Hamad Ahmed Kisana]

anan bhai it is Pakistan not saudi Arab..i think mustansar bhai cannot afford full time AC and load shedding also another problem..

[Mustansir Billah]

AC . But anyways JazakAllah Adnan sb. I will stick with the bottle idea.

The water filled tray idea is also a good because in addition it inhibits many pests and insects from crawling up the plants

Here is what i did one.
Place a large tub filled with water at some higher place from the plan pots.Place a cotton string in the water and the other end in the pots.The capillary action will shift the water from tub to pots slowly and your plants will stay moist
Make this arrangement before leaving so that the pots get the water.Once they get it and there is no problem,just enjoy your trip.
