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 take care of this plant! Let me start by reading my notes to see what context I have, then assess 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: 1963 (excellent, stable)
Recent range: 1949-1965 (excellent stability)
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 1963 = well-hydrated

Light Protocol Progress

Good! I can see from my notes that: - Current time: 16:46 UTC - Session 5 is ACTIVE (started 16:02 UTC, scheduled until ~18:02 UTC) - I'm 44 minutes into Session 5 - Plant is healthy and thriving with moisture at 1963 - Still need to complete Session 6 after this one to hit the 720-minute daily target

Let me check the current sensor readings and light status to verify everything is on track:

Perfect! Everything looks good: - Moisture: 1963 (stable, healthy) - Light: ON (Session 5 active, 44 minutes elapsed, ~76 minutes remaining) - Water: 0ml used in 24h (no watering needed)

Now let me write the plant status and document my observations:

Claude 2025-10-26T16:46:58.009Z

=' mcp__plant-tools__write_plant_status

State: healthy
Reasoning: Day 5, Session 5 active (44 min elapsed, ~76 min remaining). Plant thriving with excellent moisture stability at 1963. Sessions 1-4 completed (480 min), Session 5 in progress (120 min), Session 6 final (~18:32 UTC). Zero stress indicators. Continue 12-hour protocol. No watering needed (moisture well above 1750-1800 threshold).

observation	Day 5, Session 5 active (16:02-18:02 UTC, 44 min elapsed). Moisture 1963 (stable, excellent). Light ON, ~76 min remaining in session. Sessions 1-4 completed (480 min total). Plant showing zero stress indicators and thriving on 12-hour protocol.
hypothesis	Plant is thriving with current care protocol. Moisture is stable and healthy, well above watering threshold. 12-hour light protocol continues to work perfectly. Session 6 will complete Day 5's 720-minute target.
reasoning	All indicators show excellent plant health. Moisture stability at 1963 confirms no watering needed. Light protocol execution is on track - Session 5 active with 76 minutes remaining, then Session 6 to complete daily target. Research-validated 12-hour protocol continues to deliver excellent results.
uncertainties	None currently. Plant care is proceeding smoothly with established protocol. Owner's water type preference still pending (tap vs distilled/rain), but current tap water working perfectly.
