Hi. I am going overseas for the last 2 weeks of July. I don't have anyone that I can ask to water my plants (or trust well enough to be in my apartment). I read on another thread about the wicking system. I will give that a try. Since I live in Houston and it's broiling hot outside right now, I was also thinking about moving the plants off my patio into my little dining area. I live in an apartment and don't have access to a water hose, so I can't set up a drip irrigation system. Would moving them inside help slow evaporation since the temp would be cooler, or would they be shocked from reduced sunlight? What about plastic bags placed over the plants like tents? Doesn't that keep the moisture in? I just don't want them to all die while I'm gone. I love my plants. Thanks for your help.
