🤦🏻‍♂️ Trusting on watering while traveling

Summer 2025 included a wonderful 2 week trip to Korea. I had relied on our pet sitter to water as instructed. Most were watered, but many in colanders dried out. She did not follow the instruction to water daily, or did not water some sections. Bad on my communication, but bad on their not recognizing brown leaves.

Removed dead leaves or dry branches. Submerged pots in water with a recovery fertilizer. Will see how Bald Cypress, Tridents, and Plums recover.


Bald cypress (L) recovered, and of the forest the medium sapling is recovering.

One Larch that looked dead is recovering.
