Frequently Asked Questions
How long can plants go without water?
It all depends on the type of plants. Succulents and desert plants like cactuses can go days or even weeks without water. But many plants, especially vegetables and flowers, need to be watered pretty much every day. It's a good idea to hire a Tasker if you've got a garden full of veggies and delicate flowers.
How much do plant watering services cost?
Taskers set their own hourly rates based on plant quantity, care complexity, and service duration. You can see rates upfront before booking.
What should I tell my plant sitter about my plants?
Provide a plant list with watering schedules, light requirements, and special care needs like misting or rotating. Show them where supplies are located.
How far in advance should I book plant watering services?
Book a few days in advance for best availability, though many Taskers offer same-day service. Check the app for available Taskers in your area.
