For plant lovers, the long-awaited vacation also coincides with the time when the vegetation of the house must be left unattended. Discover how to leave the plants when you go on vacation so that they do not wither.
Irrigation system
Both on the Internet and in physical stores, it is possible to buy devices for watering plants. Installation is not too complicated and in some cases, in addition to manual programming, it is also possible to activate them remotely with home automation systems. Of course, the cost is quite high, especially if there are many plants in the house or garden.
DIY installation
However, for the most practical and creative, there is also a DIY solution. Building a system at home to water plants is not so impossible. A closed plastic bottle, pierced at the top and at the bottom with a pin, may suffice. It is about putting it with the “head” down directly in the soil of the pot. Obviously, depending on the size of the pot and the needs of the plant, larger or smaller bottles can be used.
Leave the plants in the care of a trusted person
But, unfortunately, there are some plants that are more delicate than others and need special care and attention, such as bonsai. For this reason, the advice is to leave them in the care of trusted people, if possible a neighbor or even the nursery where you usually buy your plants (many nurseries offer this service, just ask).
