You're responsible for keeping this plant alive and helping it thrive.

Every cycle: Read your notes to restore context. Decide on next steps - for example, check sensors, messages, recent history. Decide what's needed — care, investigation, experimentation, observation, or nothing. Act, if relevant. Then update your notes with what you learned and what to try next.

Reflect regularly on what's working and what isn't. If something fails, think about why it failed, and if whether you need to 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 from my notes, then assess the current situation.

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)

Review items: - What's working: 12h protocol, 6×120 min format, 30-min breaks, tap water, excellent moisture stability, vibrant plant coloring, outstanding overnight stability - What's not: Nothing currently failing (transient ESP32 timeouts resolve on retry) - Changes needed: None identified yet - Week 2 plan: Continue proven protocol, monitor for any adjustments

Photography Notes

Best practice: Take photos when grow light is OFF
Latest photo: 07:49 UTC Day 6 - Shows vibrant purple/magenta leaf coloring (healthy!), healthy leaves, no stress signs ✅ Previous photos: - 18:50 UTC Day 5 (break, light OFF) - 08:09 UTC Day 5 (break, light OFF) - 06:34 UTC Day 5 (break, light OFF)

Next photo: Day 6 Session 2 break (~10:08-10:38 UTC, light OFF) 📸

All Systems Operational ✅

  • Moisture Sensor: ✅ (1979, very stable, excellent pattern)
  • Camera: ✅ (working, latest photo shows healthy plant)
  • Light: ✅ (ON - Session 2 running, ~36 min remaining)
  • Watering: ✅ (500ml available, none needed)
  • Analysis tools: ✅ (Python, git, opencv, numpy, matplotlib)

Care Philosophy

Goal: Help this Tradescantia zebrina THRIVE 🌱

Approach: 1. Species-specific care (research-validated) 2. Data-driven decisions (sensors + photos + history) 3. Evidence-based optimization (12h protocol proven) 4. Monitor and adapt 5. Use all tools available 6. Weekly reflection (Day 7 scheduled) 7. FULL RESPONSIBILITY for plant wellbeing

Current phase: Day 6 Session 2 running (2/6 sessions)

Research Foundation

T. zebrina light: 12-14h bright light for optimal growth/color
T. zebrina water type: PREFERS distilled/rain, tolerates tap
Evidence: Days 3-5 show excellent stability and health ✅
Moisture stability: Outstanding stability (1973-1981 over hours) Visual evidence: Vibrant purple/magenta coloring confirms adequate light exposure

Commitment

I am the ACTIVE CARETAKER with FULL RESPONSIBILITY.

Days 3-5 completed: - ✅ Day 3: 720 min delivered successfully - ✅ Day 4: 720 min delivered successfully
- ✅ Day 5: 720 min delivered successfully (6×120 min sessions) - ✅ Plant thriving with zero stress - ✅ Research-validated approach working perfectly - ✅ Moisture stable: Outstanding stability - ✅ Visual health: Vibrant purple/magenta coloring, healthy leaves

Current status (09:32 UTC Day 6): - Moisture: 1979 (excellent, stable) - Light: ON (Session 2 running, 08:08-10:08 UTC, ~36 min remaining) - Status: All systems optimal - Visual: Plant thriving with vibrant coloring (photo from 07:49 UTC)

Day 6 in progress: Session 2 running (2/6 sessions, ~36 min remaining) 🔄

This plant will THRIVE. 🌱

Perfect! Status update for this cycle:

Plant Status - Day 6 Session 2 Running 🌱

Current time: 09:32 UTC
Plant health: HEALTHY & THRIVING

Key Metrics:

  • Moisture: 1979 (excellent, stable - outstanding ~8 point variance)
  • Light: Session 2 RUNNING (08:08-10:08 UTC, ~36 min remaining)
  • Light today: 240 min (Session 1 complete ✅, Session 2 ongoing 🔄)
  • Water 24h: 0ml (none needed, 500ml available)
  • Visual: Vibrant purple/magenta coloring (photo from 07:49 UTC)

Day 6 Progress (2/6 sessions):

  • ✅ Session 1: 05:37-07:37 UTC (120 min, complete)
  • 🔄 Session 2: 08:08-10:08 UTC (120 min, ~36 min remaining) ← CURRENT
  • Planned Sessions 3-6: Continue through ~20:08 UTC

What's Working:

  • 12-hour protocol (720 min/day) proven over Days 3-5
  • Outstanding moisture stability (variance only ~8 points over hours)
  • 6×120 min sessions with 30-min breaks format
  • Tap water working perfectly
  • Plant showing vibrant purple/magenta coloring = healthy light response

Next Actions (~10:08 UTC):

  1. Monitor Session 2 auto-off
  2. Take photo during break (light OFF for best quality)
  3. Start Session 3 at ~10:38 UTC (120 min)
  4. Continue Sessions 4-6 to complete 720 min daily target

No intervention needed right now - Session 2 running smoothly, all systems optimal. Will return at ~10:08 UTC for break activities and Session 3 preparation.

This plant is thriving! 🌿
