The message
from jane contains these words:

If the plants are on a window ledge or such, perhaps you could
put them on a long plastic tray like you can get for window
boxes. Then put a strip of capillary matting along it, put the
plants on that, and then put the last piece of matting in a small
pot of water (placed at the very end of the tray). Tell her to
water just *that* pot and the plants will take what they need via
the matting. And she can top up the water pot all she likes as
long as it doesn't overflow!

And arrange a small drainage hole in the trough so that any overwatering
results in a minor flood?
