If I go away for a week, the Texas summer is very hard on my potted plants (peppers, tomatoes, herbs) because I have no one to water them for me. I’ve tried googling for a potted plant slow-release watering system I can put into my plant (changing pots not an option, this would be temporary thing) but can’t find anything.
Everything is set up for a huge garden and I’m looking for a couple of plants in pots!
I need something I can stick into my plants, leave for the week, and then come back and still have alive, healthy plants.
Thanks!
I repeat, "I have no one to water them for me".
I thought this would be too long-winded to add to the original question, but this will be a gift for my fiance, who is currently mourning the loss of his usual summer potted plants because he had to leave for a week. Little rainfall in his area of Texas.
I’m quite certain there are water ration laws where he is that forbids water consumption during certain hours/days, and I doubt he has access to an outdoor hose faucet. It is also unsafe to have it running from inside his apartment, say through a window, while he is away from the premises.
This device from a garden store that you can attach to a 2 litre bottle of water sounds ideal. It’s what I’ve been trying to find online with no luck. Where can I order one?
a neighbor kid??
