I'll be taking a vacation for close to a full week, maybe more later this winter. I have about 7 Ficus that I'm overwintering inside and that's far too long of a period for them to go without water for.
I've seen a couple of different options for ways to keep the soil wet/roots from drying out. One would be to thoroughly soak each one then wrap the pots in a plastic bag and tie it off/seal it around the base of the trunk to keep moisture in. Another looks like one large tray or a bunch of smaller ones that I can fill with water and leave them standing in it. I was looking for thoughts from anyone who has tried these or any similar methods. Thanks.
