Patent Pending
While likely to flood the apartment during Kunming's summer downpours, this sure seems like a simple way to water a plant during a business trip. We'll find out if this actually works over the next two days before embarking on a big six-week trip to Ningbo, Yiwu, Changzhou, Shanghai and Japan.
All it takes is a shoe box top, a 2 liter water bottle, 4 chopsticks (to reinforce the bottom of the shoebox when it starts getting soggy) and, of course, some duct tape.
Because of the time required and the uncertainty over whether this will actually work, I'm only able to save one or two of my plants. Perhaps this is how a parent might feel when forced to decide which child to save. And just like a loving parent, I've decided to save the ones that smell the best.

My mom says I should just ask a neighbor to come over and water the plants when I am gone. Also a smart idea, but almost certainly not as fun...
Great site loved it alot, will come back and visit again.

This "brilliant" idea turned out to be a good "learning" experience. My design didn't hold up and my plants died...Next time I will listen to mom.
