In my flat, I have a 3 meter tall 'money tree'. It's very beautiful,
but sadly it's loosing a lot of leaves, mostly because it isn't being
regularly watered. I spend a couple of weeks, most months, away from
London, and my neighbor is forgetful, so doesn"t always remember to
water the plant.

I could design and build a system to water the plant myself, but there
is no tap nearby and I don't really have the time at the moment.

Is there any *indoor* plant watering 'gagets' / machines that don't
need to be attached to a running water supply, that cost less than GBP
(£) 250, and can store & deliver a minimum of 2 liters over a period of
2 weeks.

Also let me know, is there any machine that is designed to generate
'mist' from stored water for house plants, as this is important for
keeping tropical plants healthy.
