Hi,

I'll be away for about 2-3 weeks for a vacation and there won't be anyone really around to leave my bonsai in the care of. I have a small indoor ficus. It seems the options I have looked up so far include sitting the pot in a half filled tray the whole time, using a wick system, or watering then sealing the pot with plastic. I know there are some drip systems but its difficult to know how they work.

Has anyone had successful experience using any method to keep indoor trees watered while away?

Thanks,

If that is all you have take it with you

Yes. It costs about a bottle of wine. I call it: friendly neighbour.
