How much would you pay/tip someone to water your houseplants for a month? Thinking of hitting the road and working from my campervan, but I currently own too many plants (that I love) in my apartment that needs to be watered. The person is a neighbor who doubles up as a super for the building. We’re friendly but not quite friends. There are ~20 pots total

Have you considered using wine or small plastic bottles as a self watering system?
I've heard of using several wicks or ropes coming from a central bucket full of water as well. Might give it a try before leaving?

Yes, but I have way too many plants for that to work, and also I might be gone for a long time! I think I like M1’s suggestion here to house the plants with my friends in the duration that I’m gone 😆

Love this pic! What is the plant called? In love with your bookshelf!

Thank you! It’s a Calathea medallion aka prayer plant :)

Hello plant fishes, need some help saving my myranta prayer plant. It was healthy and had around 15 leaves before it slowly started dying.

Anything I can do to save it? Thanks for your help!
