I'm leaving my flat for a week and there is no way I can get anyone to look after my plants. I was looking for advice on methods of feeding them ? I've looked at wicks and so in but does anyone have experience in this and if so what's the best way to do it ?

Blumats are basically a siphon. Stick the plastic tube in a reservoir of water and the ceramic diffuser cone in the soil. As the soil dries out, water gets pulled in as needed. I found you need a few in each pot, so that the watering is evenly distributed on all sides.
