Even though its not vacation season with the cold weather you may be planning on heading somewhere warm. If nobody will be checking on your home, here are some tips to preserve house plants until you return.
Water your plants thoroughly and move them out of direct sunlight. Cover the soil with peat moss, sphagnum moss or leaf mold and then enclose the entire plant in a plastic bag. If the plant is large, use stakes which are taller than the plant to support the bag. Tie the bag loosely at the top and make a few small holes. If the plant is very large, put only the pot in the bag and tie the bag around the plant stems. Allow the soil to drain well before bagging. This should preserve your plants until you return.
