Hi I need some help with suggestions or ideas on how to keep this topped off while I travel. Last time I traveled I ordered a slow drip waterer and it seemed to be working before I left however when I returned it had not watered at all and I came back to dry dead plants. I was luckily able to chop the damage and start over on my monstera. This time I will be gone longer but I have someone that will be coming to check/care for everything about once a week. Any ideas on what else I can try to keep this filled for a week at a time? The picture is the main container 24 hour since last top off the other two I just topped off before thinking to take a picture but the front one only goes down about 1/3 of an inch in 24 hours and the back one about half an inch.

maybe I can’t tell from this angle, but is this just multiple fully mature plants stuffed into a pint glass? Just put them in a proper sized pot with soil, that will help
I would put each individual in it’s own (bigger) glass so there’s extra leeway
if you have an area on the floor you can put these, get a good quality plastic tub and a small aquarium pump, put these in the tub, add 5 gallons of water, and then run tubes from the pump to the top of the glasses.
as long as the water is above the pump inlet the glasses will stay full.
bro pot that up
I’m confused. How long are you leaving for? As another commenter said you could just break these up into containers with more water
I would get a gallon bucket. Fill it up a few inches over your glass and set it in there. Or just put the cuttings in there. They may grow new roots, but you can trim them back.
Look into the kratky method.
