Who waters your plants when you're on holiday?

I give my plants a big water a couple of days before I leave plus feed if it's due and on the morning or night before I give them another drink so the water stays in the pot about 1 to 1.5 inches. I know they say that you shouldn't leave your plants sitting in water but I always do it and it works for my Orchids which I have had for about 5 years now which keep flowering all the time. I go away for about three weeks so don't want to put the onus on my neighbour who holds my key and looks after my post. I always leave them in the same place they usually sit which is away from direct sunlight. Plants always do well with the morning sun on them.

What we call valerian, centranthus rubra, would do well near the walls in sun, however it does get big roots eventually so I wouldn't grow it in the walls. Creeping campanulas would be nice down the walls, or creeping rosemary for a drier place, cerastium tomentosum (snow in summer), aubrieta, alyssum, various alpines.. persicarias work well in walls too, but it depends how much rain you get. These are for sun - Marina has given a good list for shade. And of course, see what everyone else is growing nearby.

@catalanqueen it has struggled but it's still alive! It has been in a few rooms around the house, including the bathroom which it didn't seem to like - despite having a large window I think that the spot it was in in there was too dark for it. I've recently moved it out to our sunroom, where it seems to be thriving (contrary to all of the recommended growing conditions for calathea). The humidity is low but I've found that wetting the leaves at least once a week keeps it happy and it's throwing out lots of new leaves which is great.

Cacti and succulants need little care. Echiveria are an attractive choice. Spider plants are virtually unkillable. If you buy from a garden centre rather than a bring-and-buy sale you'll get more modern varieties which are more compact and stay looking good rather than the stringy older varieties. Cane type begonias - particularly Angel's Wing begonias. My mum had one she didn't actually like and would put it in the porch and stop watering it for months, and it would respond by putting out flowers. That plant survived several years of deliberate neglect before it was finally killed by leaving out over winter. Dibleys nursery is a good place to buy these. All plant suggestions courtesy of my mother, who neglects her house plants like you wouldn't believe. My suggestions for care: Beware over watering. I've heard that more house plants die from over watering than underwatering, and I believe it. You check if the plant needs watering by picking it up, and water if it feels too light. Or you can set a reminder on your phone and water all plants once a week (except in very hot weather). The plants I've recommended all cope with being dry.
