Tips for plant care when vacationing?

[yousillygirl]

Hi all

New to the board generally and only moved my plants into s/h within the past 6 months.

I was wondering if people take special steps with their s/h plants when you expect to be away or travelling? Over Xmas I'll be away from home for about 2.5 weeks - while I've got a friend coming over to flush the pots once a week, I'm wondering if maybe I should move them to a more shaded location, etc etc.

Finally got a couple of my plants adapted to S/H after months (!) so I would hate to lose them now.

Any tips appreciated!
