For the plants that do stay behind, I move them all to the coolest room in the apartment and draw the curtains (very light curtains) to keep the sun out. I water just before leaving and leave written instructions for the plant sitter (pour water through pot, no standing water...)

I am glad there are other orchid lovers that take their orchids on vacation. When I go to the coast for a month every Sep, I take the sick/smallest ones with me. The mature ones make it just fine with only two waterings by a neighbor.
