Default Re: GOING AWAY FOR 2 WEEKS WHAT TO DO!!!!!!

I'd recommend bagging the plants in a giant clear bag (you can put more than 1 pot in each bag) fill it with about 1 1/2" of water. Tie the bag & leave it in semi-shade, bright but no direct sunlight.

This is what I do to all my newly arrived plants or when I'm too busy to keep a close eye on my nepenthes. I'd say 95% of my plants thrive under this condition, yes especially those requiring cooler temp.

Oh yes, trim all dead leaves & pitchers before bagging, this usually helps avoid molds & fungus.

Good luck.
