Well, sort of. Fill up your sink or bathtub with a few inches of
water and lay a towel
inside to protect against scratches. Rest your

while you're gone. The soil will draw
water up to the roots, keeping the plant hydrated for up to one week.

With most plants, you should water when the soil feels dry to the touch. You can gently stick your finger (up to the knuckle or so) in the soil to see how dry it is. For water lovers, water when the surface is dry; for succulents and drier plants, water when most of the soil feels dry.Sep 9, 2020

How often should you water houseplants? Most houseplants need watered every 1-3 weeks. You should monitor your houseplants and water when they need it, rather than on a schedule. Frequency of watering will depend on the size and type of plant, size and type of pot, temperature, humidity and rate of growth.
