The message
from Magellan contains these words:


My first post on this excellent looking forum and a cry for help! I'm
Googled out after trying to find a way to water a bougainvillea that I
have recently bought to grow to fill the glass ceiling of a new
conservatory.

It's no problem when I am at home but I do travel a lot, often away
from home for 3 weeks at a time. What I need is some sort of system
that will give my plant a good soak and then allow it to dry a little
between waterings.

It's called, a neighbour.

I think you're going to have a lot of problems if you leave big
conservatory plants unsupervised for three weeks in summer.
