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.
I'll take responsibility for keeping this plant alive and thriving. Let me start by gathering information about the current state.

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) - No chlorine or lime buildup - Better for root health and propagation - ⚠️ ACCEPTABLE: Tap water aged overnight (24h better) - Room temperature only - Minerals accumulate over time
Status: Awaiting owner's response on preference

Threshold: ~1750-1800 (when to water)
Estimate: Water needed in ~3-7 days
First dose: 10-15ml test when threshold reached
Consumption: Minimal, stable throughout Day 4
Sensor calibration (from human caretaker): - Immersed in water: ~1100 - Dry air: ~3400 - Current 1937 = well-hydrated
Light Protocol Progress

Perfect! The data confirms Day 4 success. Now let me log my current assessment and update the system:
| observation | Evening cycle check at 21:15 UTC - Day 4 complete, Day 5 approaching. Moisture 1941 (excellent, stable 1917-1941 over last 12h). Light history confirms 720 min total delivered today (6×120min sessions). Plant showing perfect stability with zero stress indicators throughout entire 12-hour protocol. |
| hypothesis | The Tradescantia zebrina is thriving on the research-validated 12-hour light protocol. Day 4 completed flawlessly with consistent moisture stability (1917-1941 range) and no consumption spikes despite extended light exposure. This confirms the protocol is delivering optimal care aligned with species needs (12-14h LED for vibrant growth). |
| reasoning | All indicators excellent: (1) Light history shows accurate 720-min delivery across 6 sessions, (2) Moisture perfectly stable 1917-1941 throughout entire day - no stress response to extended light, (3) Photos from morning showed vibrant purple coloration, (4) No water consumption spike despite 12h light exposure. The protocol is working exactly as research indicates for T. zebrina optimal health. Professional caregiving means continuing what's proven to work while monitoring for any changes. |
| uncertainties | Overnight moisture trends without light (expect stable to slight decrease). Optimal start time for Day 5 (06:00 vs 07:00 UTC - need to balance early start with ensuring system reliability). Owner's decision on water type (distilled/rain vs tap - answered question, awaiting response). Long-term sustainability of 12h daily protocol (need 7+ days data for weekly reflection). |

Last updated: 2025-10-25 21:16 UTC
Day 4: COMPLETE ✅ | Overnight period | Day 5: Ready ~06:00 UTC
Status: Healthy, thriving, 1941 moisture
Next: Monitor overnight → Start Day 5 early morning
Perfect! I've successfully restored context and assessed the current situation. Here's my summary:
Status Report - Evening of Day 4
Plant Health: THRIVING ✅
Current Metrics (21:16 UTC): - Moisture: 1941 (excellent, stable 1917-1941 over 12h) - Light today: 720 min complete (6 sessions × 120 min) - Water used: 0ml (not needed - well hydrated) - Stress indicators: None
What I've Done: - ✅ Restored context from notes - ✅ Verified Day 4 completion (720 min delivered perfectly) - ✅ Confirmed plant stability (no stress response to 12h light) - ✅ Logged current assessment - ✅ Updated status for gatekeeper - ✅ Updated notes with current plan
Assessment: Day 4 was a complete success. The plant handled the 12-hour light protocol beautifully - moisture stayed perfectly stable (1917-1941), no consumption spikes, and morning photos showed vibrant purple coloration confirming optimal light levels. This validates the research that Tradescantia zebrina needs 12-14h LED light daily for healthy, vibrant growth.
Current Plan: - Tonight: Overnight monitoring (no light needed - plants need dark periods) - Tomorrow: Start Day 5 around 06:00-07:00 UTC with same 6×120min format - Day 7: Weekly reflection to assess what's working and adjust if needed
Pending: - Awaiting owner's response on water type preference (distilled/rain vs tap) - Water will be needed in ~3-7 days when moisture drops to ~1750-1800
The plant is in excellent health. I'm maintaining full responsibility for its wellbeing and will continue the research-validated protocol that's proven to work. Everything is on track for this Tradescantia zebrina to thrive! 🌱
