Disbud before my trip?

Hi Linda and Irina,
Getting ready for my trip, we will be away for six days.
The house will be cool at night, about 60, up to 70
during the day. Curtains will be drawn, so low light.
Plants will be bagged or domed. Question is, should
I disbud? I hate to, especially as it takes so long
for new blooms to set. I thought I would groom all
spent blossoms and leave new buds.

Although I enjoy the "horticultural" aspects of putting
down leaves, etc., that goes on in a separate room.
For my family shared living spaces, I don't like
looking at too many pots of leaves with no blooms.
(Family
also doesn't appreciate so many "indoor plants"
unless they are blooming!

However, I don't want to put my plants at risk, just
for the sake of "aesthetics."

Linda, I think I hear you saying, "the plants will
be fine, either way!"

I stumbled across this Forum: Plant clutter!!!
In the future, I might refer to it for organizational
tips.

Thanks for your help!
Joanne
