I am going out of country for two weeks and have at least a dozen house plants that I care for daily… how can I keep them from dying while I am gone? I don’t have anyone who can come over and water them while I am away. Photo is just one of many… among my plant babies I have about 6 snake plants which I know are pretty robust, two money trees, and then multiple miscellaneous. I would also say most of them have medium light exposure, like 2-3 hours of direct sunlight and then 5-6 hours of indirect light.

Unless you have some super sensitive plants they will be fine not being watered for 2 weeks.
The snake plants shouldn’t be watered much more than that anyway.
I would just soak them really well right before you leave
I just got back from being away for 2.5 and they were all totally fine! Some droop from the dramatic prayer plants but otherwise totally chill. They’ll be good with a good drink before you leave and right when you get home!
Get some cotton rope, circle around the plants a few times, put the rest into a bucket of water.
No plant is going to die from being unwatered for 2 weeks.
