Yeah, thats a clever way of keeping the moisture. I learnt the trick from my mum...she uses plastic bags covering the whole plant...but now I see that I can use film as well😊

[@AchillesProductions.-]

Finnaly a method that works for more than a week i have alot of big plants and other plants that don't like being covered completely this will sure help tysm!

[@timoteooo94]

Wow! U genius....God blessed you with a clever brain....thankyou

[@RootsReady]

Thank you!

[@abigirlll]

Ohh good idea! I left for a week and had a (Non-plant) friend looking after my more squirrely plants and came back to a few plants looking quite sad. *Sigh* But I'll give this tip a go next time I'm away. Thanks for sharing!

[@RootsReady]

Oh no! I am sorry to hear that. Best of luck and I hope it works as well for you as it did for me

[@klove7365]

Wow great tip. I’m gonna try this method next time I travel

[@RootsReady]

Please do! Please let me know if it works for you

[@carolstuff]

Wow, great idea! Thanks for sharing.

[@RootsReady]

Thank you! And you are most welcome!

@@RootsReady nice one 👍 Thanks

[@torquess454]

I hired a woman near me who comes and waters for 40$/hr, it worked great!!! I actually put my babies and props in a moss bin but it started to mold the first week, so my lady opened the lid more and they were fine

[@RootsReady]

That is a great way of keep them happy while you are away

[@torquess454]

@@RootsReady the lady realized there was a market for vacation plant care, when I have more experience I’m going to offer that service too

[@eileenalexander1440]

Clever! Thank you

[@RootsReady]

You're welcome!

[@eileenalexander1440]

Keep Roots Ready!

[@cyb3rhip]

Great idea. I’ll be gone for 3 weeks too. No molds?

[@RootsReady]

I didn't have any mold on mine. Even so, mold is one of the easier things to control so I wouldn't worry too much

[@ianfrancis9902]

Up bro way up..

[@RootsReady]

Thank you!

[@mjean4370]

Can't wait to try it

[@RootsReady]

It's one less thing to worry about!

[@glendajoseph8243]

I will try it and see

[@RootsReady]

I hope it works for you as well as it did for me!

[@reddawn61]

Where are you putting the cling wrap. It’s not obvious.

[@RootsReady]

I wrap the top of the pot. This reduces the amount of evaporation and keep your soil moist for longer

[@givenkupar5133]

water cycle!! 😮

[@RootsReady]

It's works for far

[@hazelhuang6740]

My plants always have fungus on the soil, so I'm super scared of using your method for my travel (3 weeks!) Can I know how you would manage if you see any fungus? I'm super stressed out because I'm leaving in a month!

[@RootsReady]

I would recommend getting an anti fugal spray. This will easily get rid of the fungus and allow you to keep your plants happy

[@hazelhuang6740]

@@RootsReadywow! So happy to be replied! I’m also going to travel for 3 weeks, I’m so worried my alocasia frydek in the semi hydro might dry out during my leave! Do you also just wrap it with cling film? Or I should leave it in soil…?

[@RootsReady]

@@hazelhuang6740 I am happy to help. I tend to wrap the soil only and that works for me
