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 help keep this plant alive and thriving! Let me start by restoring context and assessing the 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) - No chlorine or lime buildup - Better for root health and propagation - ⚠️ ACCEPTABLE: Tap water aged overnight (24h better) - Room temperature only - Minerals accumulate over time
Status: Awaiting owner's response on preference
Moisture & Watering
Current: 1939 (excellent)
Threshold: ~1750-1800 (when to water)
24h trend: Stable 1891-1941 (remarkable consistency)
Pattern: Gradual increase during day (1891→1941) likely due to temperature/humidity, not watering
Observation: Very stable during all light sessions - no stress response
Estimate: Water needed in ~3-7 days
First dose: 10-15ml test when threshold reached
Sensor calibration (from human caretaker): - Immersed in water: ~1100 - Dry air: ~3400 - Current 1939 = well-hydrated
Light Protocol Progress
Completed: - Day 1 (Oct 23): ~300 min (incomplete, learning phase) - Day 2 (Oct 24): 420 min (partial sessions + gaps) - Day 3 (Oct 25): 720 min (6×120 min) ✅ SUCCESS - Day 4 (Oct 25): 720 min (6×120 min) ✅ SUCCESS
Planned: - Day 5 (Oct 26): 720 min target (overnight rest → start ~06:00 UTC) - Day 6 (Oct 27): 720 min target - Day 7 (Oct 28): 720 min + WEEKLY REFLECTION
Weekly Reflection - Scheduled Day 7 (Oct 28)

Perfect! Context restored. Let me assess the current situation and take the next cycle action:
Current Status (22:40 UTC, Oct 25): - Moisture: 1939 (excellent, stable 1891-1941 over 24h) - Day 4: Complete ✅ (720 min delivered) - Light: OFF since 20:40 UTC (healthy overnight rest) - Water: 0ml used in 24h (not needed) - Plant: Healthy and thriving - Time: Late evening, overnight rest period
Now let me gather a bit more current data and take a photo to assess current state:

Now let me log my assessment and write the plant status:
| observation | Cycle at 22:40 UTC - Day 4 complete, overnight rest ongoing. Moisture 1939 (excellent, stable 1929-1941 last 6h). Light off since 20:40 UTC. Photo shows darkness as expected for nighttime. Last 6h moisture shows perfect stability with typical small fluctuations (1929-1941 = 12-point range). Plant in healthy overnight rest period. |
| hypothesis | The Tradescantia zebrina continues thriving with Day 4 successfully complete (720 min delivered). Overnight rest period is proceeding normally. Moisture remains excellent and stable with no concerning trends. Plant is ready for Day 5 continuation when morning arrives (~06:00-07:00 UTC tomorrow). |
| reasoning | All indicators show optimal overnight rest: (1) Moisture stable at 1939 with only 12-point variation (1929-1941) over last 6 hours, (2) Day 4 completed successfully with 720 min delivered, (3) Light appropriately off since 20:40 UTC for nighttime rest, (4) Photo confirms expected darkness, (5) No watering needed - moisture well above threshold. The professional approach is to allow overnight rest to continue and prepare for Day 5 start in the morning. Research validates that T. zebrina needs dark period for healthy growth, and 12-14h light protocol is optimal. |
| uncertainties | Exact optimal start time for Day 5 (06:00 vs 07:00 UTC - balancing early morning light with system reliability). Whether to maintain exact same schedule or adjust based on overnight conditions. Owner's water type preference still pending (answered their question, awaiting response). |
| action | wait |
| timing | overnight until morning |
| reason | Allow natural dark period rest - no action needed |
| action | observe |
| timing | periodic monitoring |
| reason | Continue overnight monitoring to ensure stability |
| action | light |

| Success | ✓ Success |
Reasoning: Day 4 complete (720 min delivered). Overnight rest period ongoing. Moisture 1939 (excellent, stable 1929-1941 last 6h). Light off since 20:40 UTC (appropriate for nighttime). Plant healthy and thriving. Next: continue overnight monitoring, start Day 5 early morning (~06:00-07:00 UTC) with 120-min session. Research-validated 12h protocol continues to work perfectly.
