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 reading my notes and gathering current status information.

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: 1959 (excellent, stable)
12-hour range: 1935-1965 (perfect 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 1959 = well-hydrated
Light Protocol Progress

Perfect! I can see the plant care is going very well. Let me now assess the current situation and write the plant status:
Current Situation (12:25 UTC): - Day 5, Session 3 active (started 11:02, ends 13:02, ~83 minutes elapsed, ~37 min remaining) - Moisture: 1956 (excellent and stable - well above watering threshold of ~1750-1800) - Light: Currently ON, 240 min delivered today (Sessions 1-2 complete), Session 3 in progress - Water 24h: 0ml used, 500ml available - Plant health: THRIVING with zero stress indicators - Protocol: 12-hour (720 min) daily light protocol working perfectly (Days 3-4 both successful)
Assessment: The Tradescantia zebrina is thriving! Session 3 is running smoothly. No intervention needed - just continue monitoring and prepare for Session 4 after the break.
Reasoning: Day 5, 12:25 UTC - Session 3 actively running (83 min elapsed, 37 min remaining until 13:02). Moisture 1956 excellent and stable, well above watering threshold ~1750-1800. Sessions 1-2 completed successfully (240 min total). Plant thriving with zero stress indicators. Days 3-4 both delivered 720 min successfully. Plan: (1) Continue monitoring Session 3 completion, (2) Wait for 30-min break after Session 3 ends, (3) Start Session 4 at ~13:32 UTC (120 min) to continue proven 12-hour protocol. Protocol working perfectly.
Next actions:
1. observe
2. wait
3. light (120)
| Proceed | True |
| Reason | N/A |
| Timestamp | 2025-10-26T12:25:35 |
Excellent! Now let me log this cycle check and update my notes:
| observation | Day 5, 12:25 UTC - Session 3 actively running (started 11:02, ends 13:02, 83 min elapsed, 37 min remaining). Moisture 1956 excellent and stable. Sessions 1-2 completed successfully today (240 min delivered). Plant showing zero stress indicators with excellent moisture stability throughout all light sessions. Light confirmed active. |
| hypothesis | The Tradescantia zebrina continues thriving on the research-validated 12-hour light protocol. Session 3 running smoothly with excellent moisture stability indicating healthy photosynthesis and transpiration balance. Days 3-4 both delivered 720 min successfully. The 6×120 min session format with 30-min breaks is optimal and proven effective. |
| reasoning | All indicators confirm optimal health and protocol success: (1) Moisture 1956 excellent, well above threshold ~1750-1800, (2) Session 3 running 83 minutes with light confirmed active, (3) Sessions 1-2 completed successfully with stable moisture, (4) Days 3-4 both completed 720 min successfully with zero stress, (5) T. zebrina research validates 12-14h daily light requirement. Protocol working perfectly - continue as planned with remaining Sessions 4-6 to reach 720 min daily target. |
| uncertainties | None currently. Protocol validated and working excellently. Owner's water type preference (distilled/rain vs tap) - recommendation sent Oct 25, awaiting response, but current tap water showing perfect results with zero stress indicators. |
| action | observe |
| rationale | Continue monitoring Session 3 completion and plant response during active photosynthesis |
| action | wait |
| rationale | Allow Session 3 to complete (~37 min remaining), then 30-min break before Session 4 |
| action | light |
| timing | Session 4 at ~13:32 UTC |
| duration | 120 min |
| rationale | Continue proven protocol - Sessions 4-6 to reach 720 min daily target |
