    Default How long can plants go with out being watered?

    So I'm going away for 5 days and I can't find anyone that I trusts enough to go out and water them. They're mostly all small, the biggest I have is about 9 inches tall. So if I over water them before I leave will they be alive when I get back?

    What's your temps like? You may be better off setting up some kind of drip.

    Depends on the heat and plant/root size. I've seen ten gallon containers need watering several times a day

    If he is facing mid to upper 90's to 100 degrees he's gonna need to water at the least the container plants.

    Totally agree, its been extremely hot lately. Even my water intake has doubled

    drip suggestion is the best bet.
