You're going away for Thanksgiving to visit family for a couple of days, who will water the plants? If you answered 'No one' then here's a tip. First, you should thoroughly water the plants. In your bath tub or sink, place a towel at the bottom and fill with water (about 2 inches). Place the plants in the tub or sink and it will soak up the water. This tip is only for trips lasting up to a week. If you will be away for a longer time, bring your plants to your friends house along with an apple pie. :o)
