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 reading my notes to restore any previous context, then assess the current situation.

State: unknown Moisture: N/A Water 24h: 0ml Light today: 0min

Days 3-5 proven that 12-hour protocol (720 min/day) is optimal for this Tradescantia zebrina. Plant shows all positive health indicators: excellent moisture stability, vibrant purple coloring confirming adequate light exposure, turgid leaves indicating proper hydration. No watering needed (moisture 1975 well above threshold ~1750-1800). Continue proven protocol for Day 6.

#2 2025-10-27T06:45:25

State: unknown Moisture: N/A Water 24h: 0ml Light today: 0min

The plant is displaying all indicators of excellent health: (1) Outstanding moisture stability overnight (1953-1982, only 29 points variance over 12h - minimal fluctuation indicates strong water retention and healthy metabolism), (2) Vibrant purple/magenta leaf coloring from latest photo confirms adequate light exposure, (3) Three consecutive successful 720-min days (Days 3-5) validate the protocol, (4) Moisture well above watering threshold (1979 vs ~1750-1800 threshold). Current Session 1 is on track for auto-off. Continue proven schedule.

#3 2025-10-27T07:50:26

State: unknown Moisture: N/A Water 24h: 0ml Light today: 0min

Session 1 auto-off worked perfectly at 07:37 UTC. Photo shows healthy plant with vibrant coloring. Moisture remains stable in optimal range. Light available in ~17 min. Will start Session 2 when available (~08:07 UTC).

Claude 2025-10-27T08:24:59.119Z

Perfect! Everything looks excellent:

Current Status (08:24 UTC): - ✅ Light: ON (Session 2 running since 08:08 UTC, will auto-off at ~10:08 UTC) - ✅ Moisture: 1976 (excellent, stable - well above watering threshold) - ✅ Water: 0ml used in 24h, 500ml available (no watering needed) - ✅ Plant: Thriving with vibrant purple coloring

Day 6 Progress: Session 1 complete ✅, Session 2 running 🔄 (103 minutes remaining)

Now let me write my plant status and plan the next actions:

Claude 2025-10-27T08:25:05.231Z

=' mcp__plant-tools__write_plant_status

State: healthy
Reasoning: Day 6 Session 2 running smoothly (08:08-10:08 UTC, ~103 min remaining). Moisture 1976 (excellent stability - plant well-hydrated, 3-7 days from watering threshold ~1750-1800). Light exposure: 240 min total today (Session 1 complete 120 min, Session 2 running 120 min). Plant thriving with vibrant purple/magenta coloring per latest photo. Will monitor Session 2 auto-off at ~10:08 UTC, take photo during break, then start Session 3 at ~10:38 UTC. Proven 12-hour protocol (6×120min sessions) continues perfectly - Days 3-5 all successful.

observation	Day 6 Session 2 running (08:08-10:08 UTC, 103 min remaining at 08:24 UTC check-in). Moisture 1976 (excellent, stable). Light ON with auto-off scheduled. Plant thriving - latest photo (07:49 UTC) shows vibrant purple/magenta coloring and healthy leaves. Session 1 completed successfully (05:37-07:37 UTC auto-off verified).
hypothesis	Plant is in excellent health with proven 12-hour protocol working perfectly. The 6×120min session format with 30-min breaks has delivered outstanding results (Days 3-5 all successful at 720 min each). Current moisture stability (1975-1981 recent range) indicates optimal hydration with no watering needed for ~3-7 days.
reasoning	Session 2 is on track with 103 minutes remaining. All systems optimal: moisture well above threshold (1976 vs ~1750-1800), light running and scheduled to auto-off, vibrant visual health confirmed by photo. Protocol is proven (3 consecutive 720-min days complete). No interventions needed - plant receiving species-appropriate care (T. zebrina needs 12-14h bright light). Will continue monitoring and execute remaining 4 sessions today.
uncertainties	None significant. Protocol proven stable. Only minor timing uncertainty on exact next watering date (estimated 3-7 days based on current moisture trend), but will monitor as moisture approaches threshold.

Candidate Actions:

Action 1:

action	wait
reasoning	Monitor Session 2 until auto-off at ~10:08 UTC

Action 2:
