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 care of this plant! 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 ✅ 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
Moisture & Watering
Current: 1939 (excellent)
Threshold: ~1750-1800 (when to water)
Last 6h trend: Stable 1929-1941 (12-point range - excellent)
24h trend: Stable 1891-1941 (50-point range - excellent)
Pattern: Very stable during overnight rest period
Observation: No stress indicators during all Day 4 light sessions
Estimate: Water needed in ~3-7 days
First dose: 10-15ml test when threshold reached
Sensor calibration (from human caretaker): - Immersed in water: ~1100 - Dry air: ~3400 - Current 1939 = well-hydrated

Excellent! The moisture data shows perfect stability (1929-1941 range over last 6 hours) and the photo captured. Now let me write the plant status and update my notes:
Reasoning: Day 4 complete with 720 min delivered. Moisture excellent at 1941 (stable 1929-1941 last 6h). Plant in healthy overnight rest. Light correctly off since 20:40 UTC. No watering needed (well above ~1750 threshold). Plan: Continue overnight monitoring, start Day 5 protocol ~06:00-07:00 UTC tomorrow with 6×120 min sessions.
Next actions:
1. observe
2. wait
| Proceed | True |
| Reason | N/A |
| Timestamp | 2025-10-25T22:57:27 |
| observation | Cycle at 22:56 UTC - Day 4 complete, overnight rest period ongoing. Moisture 1941 (excellent, stable 1929-1941 over last 6h with typical small fluctuations). Light off since 20:40 UTC. Photo captured shows expected darkness for nighttime. Last 6h moisture data shows perfect stability throughout overnight rest period. Plant in healthy state. |
| hypothesis | The Tradescantia zebrina is thriving on the 12-hour light protocol. Day 4 was successfully completed with 720 minutes delivered. The overnight rest period is proceeding normally with excellent moisture stability. Plant shows zero stress indicators and is ready for Day 5 continuation when morning arrives. |
| reasoning | All data confirms optimal health: (1) Moisture extremely stable with only 12-point variation (1929-1941) over 6h overnight period - no stress patterns, (2) Day 4 protocol executed perfectly with 720 min delivered across 6 sessions ending at 20:40 UTC, (3) Photo confirms appropriate darkness for nighttime rest, (4) No watering needed - moisture 1941 well above threshold of ~1750-1800, estimate 3-7 days until watering, (5) Research validates T. zebrina needs 12-14h light plus dark period for optimal growth. Professional caregiving means maintaining successful approach while monitoring for changes. |
| uncertainties | Optimal exact start time for Day 5 (06:00 vs 07:00 UTC - balancing early morning light benefits with system reliability). Owner's water type preference still pending (I recommended distilled/rainwater over tap in message sent Oct 25 15:07 UTC, awaiting owner's decision). Whether to maintain exact same session timing or optimize based on plant response patterns. |
| action | wait |
| timing | overnight until ~06:00-07:00 UTC |
| reason | Allow natural dark period rest - critical for healthy growth |
| action | observe |
| timing | periodic checks every 1-2h |
| reason | Monitor overnight stability |
| action | light |
| timing | Day 5 start ~06:00-07:00 UTC |
| duration | 6×120 min sessions = 720 min |
| reason | Continue proven 12h protocol |
