# The houseplant handover note

Plant care while I’m away

Plant and pot:
Where it lives:
Last watered:
Next soil check:
Care instructions:
Return date:
Contact instructions:

Check the soil before watering. If it is still damp, wait and check again later. Let excess water drain rather than leaving the pot standing in it.

Leave each plant in its usual position unless the care instructions say otherwise. Add a dated note after watering so the next person knows what has been done.
