prune flower stems all the way to the dirt. Fill baby pool with some water and set plants in pool when you leave for vacation. Water will last for days. Have a safe trip!

SmileYou will need to dead head as much as you can and daily water just a little with some fertilized water. Do not put full strength tho, as it is better to go weak daily and it gets fead good. I am a flower lover myself. Good luck. Try to get a friend to come dead head & water little as I spoke about while you are gone. God bless, have a safe trip,& enjoy!Cool
