Subject: Watering While Away...

Leaving your houseplants home alone this holiday season? Here are some easy ways to keep them watered while you're away:

- Put unglazed bricks in a large container and add a few inches of water, then put plants on top - they'll absorb water from the bricks.

- Line a bathtub with plastic and layer several sheets of newspaper over it, then wet the newspaper well and place plants on top.

- For plants too large to move, mulch with damp newspaper to slow moisture loss.

Huh . . . interesting. Wonder if that will work even when I'm not away. Then they won't die! [Embarrassed] [Roll Eyes]
