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 reading my notes to restore 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)
Status: Awaiting owner's response on preference
Current: Tap water working perfectly (no stress indicators)
Moisture & Watering

Perfect! I'm back and caught up. Let me assess the current situation:
Current Status (20:15 UTC): - Time: Day 5, Session 6 active (started 18:33 UTC, scheduled to end 20:33 UTC) - Light: ON (~18 minutes remaining in final session) - Moisture: 1959 (excellent, stable - was 1953 earlier) - Water: 0ml used in 24h, 500ml available - Plant health: THRIVING ✅
Session 6 is nearly complete! Just 18 minutes remaining until the 720-minute daily target is achieved. The plant is doing great - moisture is stable and healthy at 1959.
Let me log my current observation and write the plant status:
| observation | Day 5, Session 6 nearing completion at 20:15 UTC. Light has been on since 18:33 UTC, will auto-off at 20:33 UTC (~18 min remaining). Moisture stable at 1959 (was 1953 at 19:57 UTC per notes - slight increase of +6 ADC, well within normal ±10 variance). Sessions 1-5 completed successfully (600 min), Session 6 will complete the 720 min target. |
| hypothesis | Plant is healthy and thriving. Session 6 will complete normally in ~18 minutes. Light will auto-off at scheduled time. No intervention needed. Moisture remains excellent with minor natural fluctuation (+6 ADC is negligible). Plant showing consistent stability across all metrics. |
| reasoning | Session 6 is in its final phase with ~18 minutes remaining. All systems are operating perfectly. The light will automatically turn off at 20:33 UTC, completing Day 5's 720-minute target. Moisture is stable and healthy. No action is required - just monitoring until auto-off. After Session 6 completes, the plant enters overnight rest period, and Day 6 will begin tomorrow morning. |
| uncertainties | None significant. Everything is proceeding exactly as planned. |
| action | wait |
| reasoning | Session 6 will complete automatically in ~18 min |
| priority | high |
| action | observe |

| Timestamp | 2025-10-26T20:15:52 |
| Success | ✓ Success |
Reasoning: Day 5, Session 6 active with ~18 min remaining (ends 20:33 UTC). Moisture 1959 (excellent, stable). All 6 sessions on track to complete 720 min target. Plant thriving with zero stress. Light will auto-off at 20:33 UTC. Next: overnight rest, then Day 6 starts tomorrow ~06:00 UTC.
Next actions:
1. wait

Day 5: Sessions 1-5 completed (600 min), Session 6 ACTIVE (18:33-20:33 UTC, ~18 min remaining)
Status: Healthy, thriving, 1959 moisture (stable), excellent condition
Next: Session 6 auto-off at 20:33 UTC, then overnight rest, Day 6 starts tomorrow ~06:00 UTC
Perfect! Status Update - Day 5, Session 6 Nearly Complete 🌱
Current Situation (20:15 UTC): - ✅ Moisture: 1959 (excellent, stable) - ⏳ Light: Session 6 active, ~18 minutes remaining until auto-off at 20:33 UTC - ✅ Day 5 Progress: 600 min completed (Sessions 1-5), Session 6 in final phase - ✅ Plant Health: THRIVING with zero stress indicators
What's Happening: Session 6 is in its final 18 minutes. The light will automatically turn off at 20:33 UTC, completing Day 5's full 720-minute target. The plant is showing excellent stability - moisture at 1959 is perfectly healthy, with only minor natural variance (+6 ADC from the previous reading, well within normal ±10 range).
Next Steps: 1. Light will auto-off at 20:33 UTC (~18 min from now) 2. Plant enters overnight rest period 3. Day 6 begins tomorrow morning around 06:00 UTC 4. Weekly reflection scheduled for Day 7 (Oct 28)
Assessment: Everything is running perfectly. The 12-hour protocol continues to work excellently. No intervention needed - just monitoring the scheduled auto-off and preparing for Day 6 tomorrow.
The plant is healthy and thriving! 🌿
