Wow! Thank you all so much for your responses. In everything I've been reading I think I'm going to do as Dolly said, and Judy. I will put them in individual containers and soak them the night before, drain them well and water them just before I leave. This is specifically for the very small miniature orchids that I have in bark, that require water everyday or every other day. And I will take them off the heat Mat and move them from the light. I'm not at all worried about the large ones. I will just water them heavily before I go. Thank you again everyone. I'm going to see my mother whom I haven't seen in many many years. And you have put my mind at ease!
