Zygo. care with on trip: recommendations? Male
Default Zygo. care with on trip: recommendations?

Hey friends,

So I'm going to be gone over the Thanksgiving holiday to the in-laws. Driving there and then flying back.

I have my 2 Zygos and Galeopetalum, the 2 Zygos being from SVO and in coconut chips (that's how they came). One looks like it might flower.

I was curious as to your recommendations as to what I should do for the 2 Zygos. The Galeopetalum is in moss, so I just need to water it and it should be fine over the 5 days I'm gone. The Zygos are the ones I'm a little concerned for. Part of me wants to repot them in moss, but part of me thinks I should soak them for a minute to saturate the chips while I'm gone. All 3 are indoors and in shadier spots.

It will be colder over the time I'm gone, but they should be okay indoors as we're not letting the house get below 65 degrees at night.

Think they'll be fine or do y'all have any recommendations?

Actually, now that I think about it, it'll probably be cool enough to where I don't need to worry about watering them.

I watered all 3 this morning, and I have a suspicious that I've overwatered the 2 Zygos some (some yellowing of leaves, one outer sheath leaf yellowing).

I'll take some pictures one I'm back home.

I think you reasoned out the answer all on your own. I’d say you won’t need to worry with the colder temps while you’re away. Have fun!
