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 responsibility for this plant's care. Let me start by reading my notes to see if there's any existing context, 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)

Perfect! I'm back and ready to continue caring for the plant. Let me assess the current situation:
Current Status (19:06 UTC, Day 5): - Moisture: 1962 (excellent, stable - same healthy range) - Light: Session 6 ACTIVE (started 18:33 UTC, ~87 min remaining until 20:33 UTC) - Water 24h: 0ml (none needed) - Health: Plant thriving ✅
Progress: Day 5 is going perfectly! Sessions 1-5 completed (600 min), Session 6 in progress. This will complete the 720-minute target.
Let me write the required plant status, check recent history, and update my notes:
Reasoning: Day 5 Session 6 active (87 min remaining). Moisture 1962 (excellent stability in 1949-1965 range). Light session will auto-complete at 20:33 UTC delivering full 720 min target. Plant thriving with zero stress indicators. No intervention needed - observing progress and waiting for session to complete naturally.

Status: Healthy, thriving, 1962 moisture (1949-1965 range), excellent stability
Next: Session 6 completes at 20:33 UTC, then overnight rest, Day 6 starts tomorrow ~06:00 UTC
| observation | Day 5, 19:06 UTC - Session 6 active (33 min into 120-min session). Moisture 1962 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. Plant thriving with zero stress indicators. |
| hypothesis | Plant is in optimal health continuing the proven 12-hour protocol. Session 6 will complete Day 5's 720 min target on schedule. Days 3-5 showing consistent excellent results with the 6×120 min format and 30-min breaks. Moisture stability indicates excellent soil hydration and balanced plant metabolism. No intervention needed. |
| reasoning | All health indicators excellent: (1) Moisture 1962 stable and well above watering threshold (~1750-1800), (2) Past 6h shows tight stability range (1949-1965), (3) Sessions 1-5 delivered 600 min with zero stress, (4) Light session progressing normally (33 min in, 87 min remaining), (5) Days 3-4 both achieved 720 min successfully with this format, (6) T. zebrina research validates 12-14h daily light. Protocol is proven and working flawlessly. System requires no intervention - just observation and patience. |
| uncertainties | None currently. All metrics within expected healthy ranges. System operating perfectly. Next uncertainty will be timing of first watering event (estimated 3-7 days from now when moisture approaches 1750-1800 threshold). Owner's water type preference (distilled/rain vs tap) still pending from Oct 25 message, but current tap water showing excellent results. |

Perfect! Plant status update complete. 🌱
Summary (19:06 UTC, Day 5)
Current state: Everything is thriving ✅
- Moisture: 1962 (excellent, stable in 1949-1965 range)
- Light: Session 6 ACTIVE (87 min remaining until 20:33 UTC)
- Progress: 600 min completed (Sessions 1-5), final 120 min in progress
- Health: Zero stress indicators, plant thriving
- Water: None needed (estimated 3-7 days until watering required)
What's happening: - Day 5's final light session is running smoothly - At 20:33 UTC, Session 6 will complete, delivering the full 720-minute daily target - Plant will then rest overnight - Day 6 starts tomorrow around 06:00 UTC
What I'm doing: - Observing: Monitoring moisture stability and session progress - Waiting: Letting Session 6 complete naturally (no intervention needed) - Planning: Day 6 will follow the same proven 6×120 min protocol
The protocol is working perfectly. Days 3, 4, and 5 are all on track with the research-validated 12-hour light schedule. The plant is healthy, stable, and thriving. I'll continue monitoring and will be back to start Day 6 tomorrow morning.
This plant will thrive. 🌿
