Keep the plants alive while I'm away
A real one we send to a friend every summer. Copy the shape, swap the plants.
1
The big one by the window
Half a cup of water every third day. If the top soil still looks dark, skip a day.
2
The tiny ones on the shelf
A splash each on Sunday. They forgive forgetting; they don't forgive drowning.
⚠️ The orchid has its own note — Use the small cup and note beside its pot. If the mix still feels damp, skip this watering.

Rotate the fig a quarter turn
It leans toward the light like it's trying to leave. Once a week.

Text me a photo on day five
Not to check on you — I just miss them.
