I'm heading out Thursday for about 12 days. While I have a friend who will water for me, I wanted to make it easy on her. I have about 10 house plants that will need to be watered in a sink or something so they don't make a mess. The others can be watered in their pots. These vary from dracaenas to a dieffenbachia and a spider plant.
I'm wondering if I could set them in my dark bathtub for the whole time or if that would be too much for them. Then she could just pour the de-chlorinated water on them and not have to worry.

Thoughts?

Thank you,

if you put them in the tub, set them up on something so you can put some water in the tub under them, but not have them sitting in the water, then you can leave the light on, and the humidity from the water will make it where your friend will only have to water one time while you are away. if that!
