One way to keep your little plants always wet is the capillary irrigation method. For this, you will need a container, such as a bucket, containing water. The amount will depend on how many days you will be away.
In addition, you will need a meter of cotton string. At one of its ends, make a braid, to increase adherence, and position the string at the bottom of the bucket. Now with the other end of the string, repeat the same process of braiding it, but stick it to the bottom of the earth in the plant pot.
In order for the water to flow in the correct direction, the container with water must be at a higher height than the vase with the plant. To avoid dengue and other problems, keep the bucket covered.
Leaving all the plants together will promote a common environment for all. To promote a conducive environment, place a large basin filled with clay pebbles and water. As this water evaporates, it will feed the seedlings.
This is already an option found in specialized houses. It consists of a gelatin used at the time of planting, or even after the plant is already established. It hydrates with each watering, or even when it rains, and lasts for six months.
One of the most famous and economical options, in fact, is the relay of friends. Depending on the duration of the trip, arrange with two or three closest friends, and see if they can keep their little plants irrigated.
It can happen in two ways, each one keeping one (or a few) little plants, and taking care of them in their own home. Or combine a rotation, so that every day of the week, one goes to your house and takes care of the little plants.
