PLANT CARE FOR THE

HOLIDAY SEASON

ome plants can survive a few days
without water, but home owners going
away for longer holidays should make
Splans to take care of their plants. For
short break-aways, consider the following for
indoor and potted plants:

*make sure plants are thoroughly watered
before you leave;
*the more light your plants receive, the more
water they need. Consider moving them away
from their natural source of light to help them
retain water for longer while you’re away;
*most house plants, especially tropical
species, benefit from being grouped together
because they release moisture into the air
around them. This increases the humidity
around them to such an extent that no more
water can pass from the plants into the air,
helping them to stay hydrated;
*make an improvised irrigator with a plastic
water bottle. Poke a few holes in the bottle lid,
fill the bottle with water and bury it half way,
