This takes time, and only works if there’s room in the pot for a two-litre container. An easier solution is to put old towels, sheets or any other cloth in the bathtub or laundry sink, put in the pug, fill with water till the cloth is covered, then put all your plants on top. Give them a good watering just before you leave, and hopefully they won’t dry out. NB This only works for a fortnight or so. If you’ll be away for longer, find a plant sitter, either to water you plants in situ or take them to a friend’s.
