I am going on vacation and I need help. I have 15 plants and I just moved a week ago to a new town and I don't have a plant sitter. I'm going on vacation for five days and I don't want my plants to die. does anyone have any suggestions?

 

I'm too poor to buy those drip globes for 15 plants! they cost about $15 each and I'm a poor college student.

Each of us can make a difference. Together we make THE difference!
