Summer is here, the sky is blue, temperatures are rising and you can't wait to bask in the sun. But before you pack your bags and head off to new adventures, are you sure you've thought of everything? What will you do with your plants while you're away?

Yes, don't forget that these are little living creatures that rely on you to take care of them and help them survive! But how do you take care of them when you're away for several weeks? Is there a solution to avoid finding them in a sad state? How can you avoid wasting all the efforts you have put in place to apply our best tips for a green thumb ?

Here is our guide to keeping your plants healthy while you are away!

If you're going away for more than a fortnight, you'll need to put in place other little tricks to keep your plants in perfect health.

First solution: call a friend. Give him/her all the instructions to take care of your little jungle.

Second solution: pnd watering by capillary action. Fill a basin with water and raise it above your pot. Place the end of a string in the water and the other in the soil, at the foot of your plant. This will allow your plant to drink water through the the string.

Third solution: create a drip system. To do this, you will need a plastic bottle, a needle, a toothpick and a lighter. Heat the needle with the lighter, then poke a hole near the neck of the bottle. Place the toothpick at a slight angle in the hole and fill your bottle. Place it upside down in your pot, so that the toothpick is 4-5 cm from the soil towards the ground. Finally, poke a few holes on the bottom of the bottle. This will allow the air to get in and the water to drip out.

Thanks to all this advice, you can finally leave without worrying about your plants. We wish you all a very good holiday before going back to school full of greenery.
