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.

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)

Recent overnight trend: - Range: 1965-1982 (~17-point variance over 8+ hours) - Pattern: EXCELLENT overnight stability (minimal variance) - Status: Well-hydrated, optimal moisture level

Pattern: Healthy diurnal rhythm ✅
- Dark rest: Stable with minimal variance (excellent health indicator) - Light sessions: Stable with balanced transpiration - Overnight: Excellent stability (minimal variance, very healthy)

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 1982 = well-hydrated, excellent

  5. Continue: 4 more sessions today (total 720 min target)

Key Observations

  • Overnight stability: Excellent (19-point variance over 11+ hours)
  • Visual health: Latest photo (18:50 UTC Day 5) shows vibrant purple/magenta leaf coloring and turgid leaves - classic signs of a thriving Tradescantia zebrina
  • Protocol success: 12-hour protocol (6×120min) proven effective over Days 3-5
  • No water needed: Moisture well above threshold (~1750-1800)

Everything is on track. The plant is thriving! 🌿
