How to Keep Plants Alive While House Sitting

Many teenagers water neighbor's plants for them while they are on vacation. But kids can be very forgetful, and the last thing you want is for your neighbors to come home to a dead garden.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Watering can or hose
• A to-do list

1. Ask your neighbor how many times you should water the plants a week.
2. Write this down and make yourself a schedule.
3. Put this schedule on your fridge or tv. This way you see it and cannot forget.
4. Water the plants on those days. If it is uncommonly hot while they are out of town, check on the plants in between days. If the soil is dry, water the plants more than you were instructed to.
