One of the joys of a getaway is the escape from your daily stresses and responsibilities. It is a time to kick up your feet and enjoy all the spoils you worked for throughout the year.
However, much like those of us with pets, many plant parents find time spent away is tinged with worry at the thought of leaving their plants home alone.
While some plants can survive a few days without water, a plan must be made for others if you’re taking a longer holiday.
The team at Gardenia has put together tips for short and long holidays away.

TIPS FOR A LONG HOLIDAY (INDOOR, POTTED AND GARDEN PLANTS)
Asking a neighbour or friend to pop in while you’re away is the good old-fashioned way of doing things, but not everyone has this option. Instead, consider an automatic watering solution such as the options listed below.
- The Gardena Holiday Watering Set is an automatic system that can water up to 36 potted plants. The set includes three different distributors, each with 12 outlets catering to different watering needs.
- The Gardena AquaBloom is a solar-powered set that can take care of up to 20 plants. It comes with 14 preset watering programmes guaranteeing even water distribution. Ideal for plants on the balcony, this innovative watering solution requires nothing more than an additional bucket.
- The Gardena Water Control Select connects directly to a tap and a Gardena hose connects the Water Control Select to a sprinkler, Micro-Drip irrigation or an underground sprinkler system. Three different watering schedules can be set on the detachable control panel, including the start time and duration displayed on the LCD screen.
With so many options to choose from you can rest assured your precious plants will survive the holiday heat.
