ABOUT THIS VIDEO: How to WATER PLANTS WHILE ON VACATION
In this video I share with you what I do to water plants while on vacation. So if you are looking for how to water houseplants while on vacation, this video is especially made for you! Depending on how long your trip is, you may want to try one or various of the tips that I give here. The question "how to water plants while on vacation for a month" is different to asking how to water plants while on vacation for two weeks. I use all of these tips to water plants while away (especially since we go to Canada and Czechia often). I hope you find this helpful and do let me know if you have any other questions!

Thank you so much! Very informative and helpful! Great tips that I will be using.

I just got back from a week-long trip to the beach. I have 2 potted hydrangeas on my balcony that take quite a bit of water. I put 2 small water globes in each pot and they did beautifully. The big leaf hydrangea had half a globe left. The panicle hydrangea had just finished both globes by the time I got back (the globes were empty but the soil was still nice and moist). I was very relieved!

This video is so helpful, discovered watering stake. thank you so much!

[@lorikaylor1986]

Such great advice! Thank you!

[@alandriaglenn3145]

Thank you so much! I recently started gardening and I'm leaving for a month in a couple of weeks and was super scared of coming back to dead plants. I'ma definitely try some of these methods!

[@neilbarnedo110]

This is so helpful! In my case, I am into Hydroponics so watering plants isn't a problem for me but my plants are placed indoors so my problem would be the scheduling for when the light should turn on/off. There are grow lights that have scheduling embedded in them but only offer a maximum of 12 hours of duration. Also, smart sockets are a great thing but too expensive so I made them myself. I developed a circuitry as well as a mobile application that helped me turn on and off the lights even though I am so far away from home. And now, I can be on a vacation without worrying my plants would never get photons in a day :)

I'm so fortunate to have friends who love my house and they come and stay so it's easy for them to water the plants. All my plants are in one room anyway on the verandah.

[@anitajones7090]

I think I might try the watering globe for a few of my plants.

[@MiscellaneousMichelle]

Great video

[@madelinerivera3837]

Have a fun and safe vacation. 😊

[@creativephebecooks]

This is so helpful! I wish I had watched this video before leaving my plants for the holidays. I had my housemate care for them while I'm away until get back. I'll try the stake method. Thanks

[@PlantsandLucia]

So happy to read it was helpful 💚 let me know how the stake method works for you and your plants when you try it 😊

[@vlong7112]

I was just talking to my husband about making copies of our house key for a few people who can check in (and water my plants) while we're away 😂

[@PlantsandLucia]

hahah yes! Very important 😂

[@yasinnikpour3566]

thank you so much!

[@raining_houseplants2646]

Happy vacation ♥️

[@PlantsandLucia]

Thank you! 💚

[@marthelenada6197]

¡Què padre! Disfruta tu estancia. Yo vivo en el sur de Ontario y, como sabrás, el verano es precioso. Buen viaje.

[@marthelenada6197]

P.D. Yo viendo videos porque en otoño voy a victoria, B.C. a visitar a mi hija. Qué nervios con mis plantas :$

[@PlantsandLucia]

@Marthelena DA aww que bonito Victoria! Que te la pases bien con tu hija y estoy segura que tus plantas estarán bien 💚

[@Stardust_Truth_Seeker]

Have you got a link to the terracotta watering globes? they lovely! really good . also would you advise using multiple globes to see if a big plant would take the water down store it if away longer ? would last longer with mire globes or het too wet if it had more globes in it?

[@ASMRmillibar]

love the blue jays jersey 👀 haha

[@MrBaconwhopper]

I will try these stakes but if this doesn't work I give up. I tried all kinds of watering bulbs and drippers but the water just goes through. My floor is wet, the plants water logged and now I have fungus gnats everywhere

[@hreemshreemkleem]

Can we keep pots under tap that drop a second

[@kendravoracek3636]

💚

[@RyanManahanNews]

I'm also wearing my red Jays jersey right now!

[@PlantsandLucia]

hahah nice!! Let's go Blue Jays :-) !

[@everising4999]

My husband doesn’t want strangers in the house so I have to ask our neighbor do it. I have more plants again and last time two of my African violets molded and I had to throw them away!

[@nadines6344]

Where in Canada? I want you to come and evaluate my plants lol !

[@PlantsandLucia]

haha we are going to places in Ontario ! :-)

[@DebraMarcoLeigh]

What is the name of the first plant you moved? Sorry, but my eye sight is not that good anymore, it looked like a fern. Love your videos.

[@PlantsandLucia]

You mean this one --> 0:43 ? That's an Asparagus Fern :-) I made a video about this one when I was just beginning with this channel haha, you can find it here kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmbCdKVond-EiJY But I will try to make a new one with more info ! Hope this is helpful :-)

[@DebraMarcoLeigh]
