How long can I leave my houseplants?

Q: I’ll be gone for four weeks – will Plant Straws keep my plants alive?
A: Yes, with Plant Straws installed, you can leave your plants for a good while! The larger the water container, the longer you can leave them. However, plants also need light and nutrients to thrive. Consider a slow-release fertilizer for extended trips.

Prepare Your Vacation Watering

• Plan ahead: Install the Plant Straw well before your trip to gradually adjust your plant’s watering routine. Adjust the wick length or switch to a larger container if needed.
• Minimize evaporation: Use a vase with a narrow opening to help the water last longer.
• Fertilize carefully: After a long trip, deep water your plants with clean water before applying liquid fertilizer to avoid burning the roots.
