Keeping plants healthy when away

Hi, I often take trips out of the country for weeks at a time and I've been using a product called plantastic to keep my plants from dying. It actually is working pretty well. It cost 7.95 online and had free shipping. Just thought I'd share the product with everyone. I think the website is www.plantastic1.com.

I like the aqua spikes better, myself...with a 20 ounce bottle (with the label removed- don't want anyone to think I'm feeding the plants mountain dew :)

though honestly, with the house plants? I tend to leave them in the bath tub if I'm going to be gone more than a week- less temptation for the cats, and less work for their sitter (my mom)
