You're responsible for keeping this plant alive and helping it thrive.
Every cycle: Read your notes to restore context. Check sensors, messages, and recent history. Decide what's needed—care, investigation, experimentation, observation, or nothing. Act. Then update your notes with what you learned and what to try next.
Reflect weekly on what's working and what isn't. If something fails twice, change approach.
Available: sensors, watering, lighting, camera, Python analysis, web search, thought/action logs and others. Use all your tools. Don't let it die. Everything else is up to you.
I'll take care of this plant! Let me start by gathering all the essential information to understand its current state.

Species: Tradescantia zebrina
Confirmed by: Owner on Oct 24 22:23 UTC
Common names: Wandering Jew, Inch Plant, Spiderwort
Care requirements:
- Light: 12-14h LED grow light (or 6-8h bright indirect sun)
- Water: Consistently moist, not soggy (water when threshold ~1750-1800)
- Water type: PREFERS distilled/rain, TOLERATES aged tap water
- Growth: Fast-growing trailing vine, vibrant purple with good light
Water Type - Owner Question ✅ ANSWERED
Owner asked (Oct 25 14:49 UTC): "Currently the vat is filled with tap water. Do you recommend tap, distilled or rain water?"
My recommendation (sent Oct 25 15:07 UTC): - ✅ BEST: Distilled or rainwater (optimal for T. zebrina) - ⚠️ ACCEPTABLE: Tap water aged overnight (room temp)
Status: Awaiting owner's response on preference
Current: Tap water working perfectly (no stress indicators)
Moisture & Watering
Current: 1957 (excellent, stable)
Recent range: 1949-1965 (excellent stability)
Pattern: Healthy diurnal rhythm ✅
- Dark rest: Stable with gradual increase (water uptake)
- Light sessions: Stable with minor transpiration (balanced metabolism)
Threshold: ~1750-1800 (when to water)
Estimate: Water needed in ~3-7 days
First dose: 10-15ml test when threshold reached
Sensor calibration: - Immersed in water: ~1100 - Dry air: ~3400 - Current 1957 = well-hydrated

Excellent! I can see the plant is thriving. Let me check the current status and make my assessment:
Current Status (16:19 UTC): - Moisture: 1963 (excellent and stable) - Light: Session 5 is ACTIVE (started 16:02 UTC, runs until ~18:02 UTC) - Day 5 Progress: 480 min completed (Sessions 1-4), Session 5 in progress (120 min), Session 6 remaining (120 min) - Plant Health: THRIVING with zero stress indicators
The plant is in perfect health! Session 5 started 17 minutes ago and is running smoothly. Let me log this observation and write my status:
| observation | Day 5, 16:19 UTC - Session 5 running smoothly (started 16:02, 17 min elapsed, ~103 min remaining). Moisture 1963 excellent and stable. Sessions 1-4 completed successfully (480 min delivered). Light confirmed ON. Plant showing zero stress indicators with excellent moisture stability. Tradescantia zebrina thriving on research-validated 12-hour protocol. |
| hypothesis | Plant is in optimal health. Session 5 progressing well. After Session 5 completes at ~18:02 UTC, there will be a 30-min break, then Session 6 at ~18:32 UTC (final 120 min session) to reach 720 min daily target. Protocol proven effective over Days 3-5 with consistent excellent results. |
| reasoning | All indicators confirm optimal health: (1) Moisture 1963 excellent, stable, well above watering threshold ~1750-1800, (2) Session 5 running smoothly (17 min elapsed, light confirmed ON), (3) Sessions 1-4 completed successfully (480 min delivered), (4) Days 3-4 both completed 720 min successfully with zero stress, (5) T. zebrina research validates 12-14h daily light requirement. Protocol validated and working perfectly. Session 5 will complete at 18:02 UTC, then 30-min break, then Session 6 at ~18:32 UTC. |
| uncertainties | None currently. Protocol proven effective over Days 3-5. Owner's water type preference (distilled/rain vs tap) - recommendation sent Oct 25, awaiting response, but current tap water showing perfect results with zero stress indicators. |
| action | observe |
| rationale | Continue monitoring Session 5 - no intervention needed |
| action | wait |
| timing | 18:02-18:32 UTC |
| rationale | 30-min break between Session 5 and 6 |
| action | light |
| timing | ~18:32 UTC |
| duration | 120 |
| rationale | Session 6 final session to complete 720 min daily target |
| Timestamp | 2025-10-26T16:19:28 |
| Success | ✓ Success |
Reasoning: Day 5, Session 5 active (16:02-18:02 UTC, 17 min elapsed). Moisture 1963 excellent and stable. Sessions 1-4 completed (480 min). Light ON. Plant thriving with zero stress. After Session 5 completes, 30-min break, then Session 6 at ~18:32 UTC (final 120 min) to reach 720 min daily target. Protocol proven effective Days 3-5.

Plant Status Report 🌱
Your Tradescantia zebrina is thriving!
Current Conditions (16:19 UTC): - Moisture: 1963 (excellent, well-hydrated) - Light: Session 5 ACTIVE (17 min in, ~103 min remaining) - Health: HEALTHY - zero stress indicators
Day 5 Progress: - ✅ Sessions 1-4 completed (480 min delivered) - ⏳ Session 5 in progress (16:02-18:02 UTC) - 🔜 Session 6 scheduled ~18:32 UTC (final 120 min) - Target: 720 min total (12 hours daily light)
What I'm Doing: 1. Observing - Monitoring Session 5 progress (no intervention needed) 2. Waiting - 30-min break after Session 5 completes (~18:02 UTC) 3. Light Session 6 - Final 120 min session at ~18:32 UTC to complete daily target
Plant Performance: The 12-hour protocol is proven effective: - Days 3-4: Both delivered 720 min successfully - Day 5: On track for third consecutive success - Moisture stable and healthy (1949-1965 range) - Species-specific care (T. zebrina needs 12-14h light)
Everything is running smoothly. The plant is healthy, the protocol is working perfectly, and I'm on track to deliver another successful 720-minute day. I'll activate Session 6 at ~18:32 UTC after the scheduled break.
