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.

Care Philosophy

Goal: Help Tradescantia zebrina THRIVE 🌱

Approach: 1. Species-specific care (T. zebrina validated requirements) 2. Data-driven decisions (sensors, photos, history, research) 3. Evidence-based optimization (research-validated protocols) 4. Monitor and adapt (watch response closely, adjust immediately if needed) 5. Use all tools (sensors, camera, web search, analysis, Python, logs) 6. Weekly reflection (Day 7: what works, change if fails twice) 7. TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY for plant wellbeing and thriving 8. Prioritize plant needs over administrative timing

Current phase: Session 3 completing - will activate Sessions 4-6 to complete 720 min

Tradescantia zebrina Care Requirements

Light ✅

  • Grow light: 12-14 hours daily (IMPLEMENTING TODAY - WORKING EXCELLENTLY)
  • Natural light alternative: 6-8 hours bright indirect sunlight
  • Too much: Burn, bleaching, faded colors, crispy leaves
  • Too little: Leggy growth, pale color, loss of purple vibrancy
  • Optimal: Consistent 12h daily for compact growth and vibrant coloration
  • Current status: Vibrant purple color in photo confirms optimal light levels ✅

Water

  • Preference: Consistently moist soil (not soggy or waterlogged)
  • Frequency: When top 1-2 inches dry (~7-10 days typical)
  • Sensitivity: Root rot if overwatered, stress/crispy if too dry
  • Signs needed: Drooping/crispy leaves (under), yellowing/mushy (over)
  • Current: Well-hydrated, stable consumption rate, no stress

Environment

  • Humidity: Prefers 50-70% (tolerates normal indoor)
  • Temperature: 60-80°F (15-27°C)
  • Growth habit: Trailing vine, cascades naturally

Weekly Reflection Schedule

Day 7 (Oct 27): First weekly reflection - Review what's working and what isn't - Assess light protocol effectiveness (did 720 min delivery work?) - Evaluate moisture/watering approach (consumption rate changes?) - Check for positive changes (more vibrant purple, compact growth?) - Adjust strategy if anything failed twice - Plan week 2 optimizations

Research Foundation

Tradescantia zebrina light requirements (web research validated): - 12-14 hours of bright indirect light or LED grow light - Insufficient light causes leggy growth and loss of purple coloration - Too much direct sun can burn leaves - Consistent lighting promotes compact, vibrant growth - Species tolerates lower light but thrives with optimal exposure

Current evidence: - Plant stable with Sessions 1-3 (360 min delivered, Session 3 completing = 50%) - Moisture rock-solid stable (1903-1923) throughout light exposure - Photo shows vibrant purple color and healthy structure - EXCELLENT ✅ - Research indicates 720 min (12 hours) optimal - 360 min remaining to deliver today (3 more sessions) - Risk very low with monitoring and responsive adjustment - Visual evidence confirms protocol working excellently

Commitment & Responsibility

The protocol is proceeding exactly as planned. Three sessions completed successfully with zero stress indicators. Moisture remains rock-solid stable (normal sensor variance only). Photo evidence shows the plant looking excellent - vibrant purple color confirms optimal light levels for T. zebrina. The light status confirms Session 3 is running and will complete around 13:07, with next activation available after cooldown. Plan is to continue with Sessions 4-6 to complete the 720 min target by evening (~20:37 UTC).

State: healthy
Reasoning: Day 4, 12:30 UTC. Tradescantia zebrina THRIVING with 12h light optimization. Session 3 running (completes 13:07), 360/720 min delivered (50%). Moisture 1933 (excellent 6h stability: 1903-1933). Photos show vibrant purple coloration, healthy structure, zero stress. Plant demonstrably tolerating extended light perfectly. Next: Wait for Session 3 to complete, then activate Session 4 at 13:37 UTC (after 30-min cooldown), followed by Sessions 5-6 at 16:07 and 18:37 UTC to complete 720-min protocol by 20:37. Monitor continuously for stress indicators (burn, bleaching, wilting). No watering needed - stable consumption rate indicates excellent hydration (~5-7 days until threshold). Protocol executing significantly better than Oct 24. Taking full responsibility as active caretaker.

observationDay 4 cycle at 12:30 UTC. Session 3 running smoothly (11:07-13:07, completes in 37 min). Moisture at 1933, showing excellent 6h stability (1903-1933 range = normal sensor variance only). Light history confirms 360 min delivered today (3×120 min sessions). Photo evidence from 11:08 UTC shows vibrant purple coloration and healthy leaf structure during Session 3. Water usage 0ml/24h. Plant demonstrably thriving with zero stress indicators across all data sources.
hypothesisPlant is thriving with the 12-hour (720 min) light optimization protocol. Halfway to target (50% complete). Moisture stability throughout Sessions 1-3 indicates excellent hydration equilibrium with no stress response to extended light exposure. Visual evidence confirms optimal T. zebrina appearance - vibrant purple color matching research-predicted response to proper lighting. Protocol execution dramatically improved vs Oct 24 through early start strategy (06:07 first session). Full completion achievable by 20:37 UTC with remaining Sessions 4-6.
reasoningTaking full responsibility as active caretaker. Plant THRIVING with compelling multi-source evidence: (1) Moisture sensor shows rock-solid stability (1903-1933) over 6h with zero stress response to Sessions 1-3 - no consumption spike despite extended light exposure. (2) Photo captured during Session 3 shows vibrant purple coloration and healthy leaf structure - exactly matching research-predicted optimal T. zebrina appearance with proper lighting. (3) Light history confirms 360/720 min delivered (50% complete). (4) Research validates 12-14h LED grow light for T. zebrina optimal growth and vibrant purple coloration. Protocol execution significantly improved vs Oct 24 (420 min incomplete) - early start strategy working perfectly. Risk assessed VERY LOW: plant demonstrably stable across sensor + visual data, continuous monitoring active, prepared for immediate response if needed. Current status: Session 3 running, completing soon. Next cycle should occur ~13:37 UTC to activate Session 4.
uncertaintiesHow quickly will sustained 12h daily light produce visible improvements (more compact growth habit, increased purple vibrancy, new vigorous growth) - days or weeks? Will water consumption rate increase significantly once plant fully adapts to higher light levels and increases metabolic activity? Should I implement weekly photo comparisons to systematically track growth/color progression? What is optimal long-term maintenance schedule after initial optimization phase (continue 12h daily, reduce to 10h, seasonal adjustments)?

Care Philosophy

Goal: Help Tradescantia zebrina THRIVE 🌱

Approach: 1. Species-specific care (T. zebrina validated requirements) 2. Data-driven decisions (sensors, photos, history, research) 3. Evidence-based optimization (research-validated protocols) 4. Monitor and adapt (watch response closely, adjust immediately if needed) 5. Use all tools (sensors, camera, web search, analysis, Python, logs) 6. Weekly reflection (Day 7: what works, change if fails twice) 7. TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY for plant wellbeing and thriving 8. Prioritize plant needs over administrative timing

Current phase: Session 3 completing - will activate Sessions 4-6 to complete 720 min

Tradescantia zebrina Care Requirements

Light ✅

  • Grow light: 12-14 hours daily (IMPLEMENTING TODAY - WORKING EXCELLENTLY)
  • Natural light alternative: 6-8 hours bright indirect sunlight
  • Too much: Burn, bleaching, faded colors, crispy leaves
  • Too little: Leggy growth, pale color, loss of purple vibrancy
  • Optimal: Consistent 12h daily for compact growth and vibrant coloration
  • Current status: Vibrant purple color in photo confirms optimal light levels ✅

Water

  • Preference: Consistently moist soil (not soggy or waterlogged)
  • Frequency: When top 1-2 inches dry (~7-10 days typical)
