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 checking my notes 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 ✅ 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)
Moisture & Watering
Current: 1955 (excellent, stable)
Recent range: 1951-1965 (excellent stability, past 6 hours)
Pattern: Healthy diurnal rhythm ✅
- 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 1955 = well-hydrated

Perfect! Let me assess the situation:
Current Status (18:49 UTC): - Moisture: 1961 (excellent, stable - actually up slightly from 1955 noted earlier) - Light Session 6: ACTIVE (started 18:33 UTC, scheduled to end 20:33 UTC) - Time remaining: ~103 minutes until light can be activated again (which aligns with the 20:33 UTC scheduled end) - Water 24h: 0ml (none needed) - Messages: No new messages from owner - Plant health: THRIVING ✅
This is Session 6 of Day 5 - the final 120-minute session to complete today's 720-minute target. The light is running as scheduled and will auto-off at 20:33 UTC.
Let me write the plant status and check recent history to ensure everything is on track:
Reasoning: Day 5, Session 6 active (18:33-20:33 UTC, final 120 min). Moisture 1961 (excellent, stable, up slightly from earlier). Light running as scheduled, will complete 720 min target at 20:33 UTC. No watering needed (1961 well above 1750-1800 threshold). Plant thriving with zero stress. Plan: observe current state, then wait for Session 6 to complete. Overnight rest follows.

Excellent! The data shows everything is running perfectly:
Moisture trend (past 6 hours): 1949-1965 range, very stable oscillation around 1960. Current reading of 1961 is right in the healthy zone.
Session progress: - Sessions 1-5 completed successfully (600 min) - Session 6 started at 18:33 UTC and is running now - Will complete at 20:33 UTC for full 720-minute daily target
The plant is thriving with consistent care. Now let me take a photo to document the current state (light is ON, but I'll document this for record-keeping), and then update my notes:
| Url | View |
| Timestamp | 2025-10-26T18:50:16 |
| observation | Day 5, Session 6 active (18:49 UTC, 16 min into 120-min session). Moisture 1961 excellent and stable (1949-1965 range past 6h). Light ON since 18:33 UTC, scheduled to complete at 20:33 UTC. Sessions 1-5 delivered 600 min successfully. |
| hypothesis | Plant thriving on proven 12-hour protocol. Session 6 will complete Day 5's 720 min target. Moisture stability indicates excellent soil hydration and plant health. No watering needed for ~3-7 days estimated. |
| reasoning | Consistent execution of research-validated 12h protocol on Days 3-5 showing excellent results. Moisture trend stable without intervention. Light sessions delivering targeted duration with proper breaks. All systems operational. |
| uncertainties | None currently - all metrics within expected healthy ranges. Next uncertainty will be timing of first watering event (estimated 3-7 days from now when moisture approaches 1750-1800 threshold). |
| action | observe |
| rationale | Monitor Session 6 progress and moisture stability |
