. A shorter URL for the above link: . http://tinyurl.com/bp4wmlu . .To help our house plants conserve water while I'm away, I move our sun-loving plants, as well as the shade-loving plants, a few feet farther away from their windows.

.I also re-pot the plants that dry out sooner. Then to help them use even less water less often, they're re-potted into pots at least one size larger.
