A drip or irrigation system run by a battery powered timer(if you don't have electric to that area) would be a good idea... but it would require some preparation to get it installed .... but it would work even after you come home -

Soaker hoses, in garden areas, set on a timer. Group pots together and attach a small water sprinkler to your outdoor spigot, on a timer. Indoors, place plants atop pea gravel set inside boot trays, etc., with water. Plants should soak up water via capillary action. -

when potting your plants used strips of nylon from the top of your pot to the base. Always have a base or bottom for the pot. Place water in the base when leaving for a short trip. If it extended you can tie more nylon strips to your pots and place them in a 5 gallon bucket with water. Try this before you leave to make sure how much water your plants use. -

Depends on how long you are going to be gone, but you can use either a 1 liter bottle of 2 liter bottle filled with water and turn upside down in pot or outside. It will fill a needed Or you can find the cute ones at the dollar store but they don't last very long. -

Place them in your bathtub (s) and sinks with an inch or so of water. Since your house will be closed up tight, it will be a greenhouse effect and should be good for 1 to 2 weeks.- See 1 previous
