if your going away for a few days, just move the plant to a shady place.

as long as its not too hot maybe a week as long as you flood the soil, and leave a try full of water under the plant.
how long are you planning to go away.
i have left plants 2 weeks in the past.

Thank you all for the replies on my queation.
I am now away from home but plan to be back home tommorow.
The trip away from home was a spare of the moment decision and only later did I remember that I left the plant out side exposed to the sunlight
Thanks

I am in the EXACT situation RIGHT NOW, seeds are hard to come by where I live so having a plant is a blessing, I have a perfumy blueberry plant and a purp plant so, I left them in the direct sunlight as well...The blueberry plant is very resilient but the purp plant has a tendency to succumb to heat stress and droop down like it got hit with full blown cancer or something, but i can usually revive them, just it will be 10 days of dryness and i've never left them that long : O
