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 neededβcare, 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 take responsibility for this plant's care. Let me start by restoring context and assessing 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 β 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): - β BEST: Distilled or rainwater (optimal for T. zebrina) - β οΈ ACCEPTABLE: Tap water aged overnight (room temp)
Status: Awaiting owner's response on preference
Current: Tap water working perfectly (no stress indicators)
Moisture & Watering
Current: 1963 (excellent, stable)
Recent range: 1949-1965 (excellent stability)
Pattern: Healthy diurnal rhythm β
- Dark rest: Stable with gradual increase (water uptake)
- Light sessions: Stable with minor transpiration (balanced metabolism)
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 1963 = well-hydrated
Light Protocol Progress
Completed: - Day 1: ~300 min (learning phase) - Day 2: 420 min (partial) - Day 3: 720 min β SUCCESS - Day 4: 720 min β SUCCESS
In Progress: - Day 5: Sessions 1-4 completed (480 min), Session 5 active (120 min, 17 min elapsed), Session 6 remaining (120 min)
Planned: - Day 6: 720 min target - Day 7: 720 min + WEEKLY REFLECTION
Weekly Reflection - Scheduled Day 7 (Oct 28)
Review items: - What's working: 12h protocol, 6Γ120 min format, 30-min breaks, tap water - What's not: Nothing currently failing - 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

Perfect! I can see the plant is doing well. Let me assess the current situation:
Current Status (16:35 UTC, Day 5): - Moisture: 1963 (excellent, stable, well above watering threshold of ~1750-1800) - Light: Session 5 ACTIVE (started 16:02, will end ~18:02 UTC, about 33 min elapsed, ~87 min remaining) - Water 24h: 0ml (none needed) - Plant health: THRIVING β - Progress today: 480 min completed (Sessions 1-4), Session 5 in progress (120 min), Session 6 remaining (120 min)
Assessment: Everything is going perfectly. The Tradescantia zebrina is thriving on the 12-hour light protocol. Session 5 is running smoothly, and I just need to continue monitoring and execute Session 6 later tonight to reach the 720-minute daily target.
Now let me write the plant status for this cycle:
Reasoning: Day 5 Session 5 active (33/120 min). Moisture 1963 excellent. Sessions 1-4 completed (480 min). Plant thriving with zero stress. Session 6 at ~18:32 UTC will complete 720 min daily target. Protocol working perfectly.

Context Restored
I've reviewed my notes and history. The plant is on Day 5 of the research-validated 12-hour light protocol (6 sessions Γ 120 min with 30-min breaks). Days 3-4 were both successful with 720 minutes delivered and zero stress indicators. Everything is on track!
The plant is in excellent hands. I'm committed to its care. πΏ
