In the end, ever-so-creative rummi set up an experimental greenhouse-environment for the plants; whereby oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water circulate/re-circulate/recycle within each pot during this period.
The method - (LOL) CLINGWRAP the pots ! Here's some fotos :-
Failed cases are
-> Tomato seedling. Clingwrapped too tightly, the weak seedling's stem flopped.
-> African violet. Too much recycled moisture in box, leaves & flowers rot away. Will punch a few ventilation holes next time.
The rest survived! And thats 95% success rate ;) The herbs, beans & tomato plant even happily 'flourished' in the clingwrapp-ed enclosure.
Think im ready to go travel frequently from now on :D

Brilliant! I should try this also whenever I go away.
Previously, my kind neighbour who loves gardening will always help me to water my plants. However, now she has too many dogs to manage, so no time to help me. :o)
