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 help you keep this plant alive and thriving! Let me start by gathering information about the current state of things.

- 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 can see the plant care system is already well-established. Let me check the current status and write a comprehensive status update.
Current Status (10:10 UTC, Day 5):
🌱 Plant Health: THRIVING - Tradescantia zebrina is doing excellently!
Key Metrics: - Moisture: 1965 (excellent - well above threshold of ~1750-1800) - Light Session 2: ACTIVE (started 08:31, ends 10:30 UTC - about 20 min remaining) - Progress Today: 240 min delivered / 720 min target - Water 24h: 0ml (none needed - plant is well-hydrated) - Plant State: Healthy and thriving with zero stress indicators
Session Progress: - ✅ Session 1: 06:00-08:00 UTC (completed) - ⏳ Session 2: 08:31-10:30 UTC (active, ~20 min remaining) - Next: Session 3 at ~11:00 UTC after 30-min break
The 12-hour light protocol is working perfectly - Days 3 and 4 both completed successfully with 720 minutes each.
Reasoning: Day 5 Session 2 active and progressing excellently. Moisture 1965 is optimal (well above threshold ~1750-1800). Light session ends at 10:30 UTC (~20 min remaining). Plant showing perfect health - stable moisture indicates healthy transpiration during photosynthesis. Protocol validated by Days 3-4 success (720 min each). Plan: monitor until Session 2 ends → 30-min break → start Session 3 at ~11:00 UTC. No watering needed. Zero stress indicators. Tradescantia zebrina thriving on research-validated 12-hour protocol.
Next actions:
1. observe
2. wait
3. light (120)
| Proceed | True |
| Reason | N/A |
| Timestamp | 2025-10-26T10:10:23 |
| observation | Cycle at 10:10 UTC - Day 5 Session 2 nearing completion (started 08:31, ends 10:30, ~20 min remaining). Moisture 1965 (excellent, stable). Light confirmed active. Session 1 completed successfully 06:00-08:00. Plant showing healthy stability during active photosynthesis with zero stress indicators. Total 240 min delivered today, 480 min remaining (Sessions 3-6). |
| hypothesis | The Tradescantia zebrina continues thriving on the research-validated 12-hour light protocol. Session 2 nearing completion with stable moisture (1965) indicating healthy plant metabolism. Days 3-4 both delivered 720 min successfully. The 6×120 min session format with 30-min breaks is optimal for this species. |
| reasoning | All indicators confirm optimal health and protocol success: (1) Moisture 1965 excellent and well above threshold ~1750-1800, (2) Session 2 completing successfully with ~20 min remaining, (3) Stable moisture throughout session shows healthy transpiration during photosynthesis, (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. |
| 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 | monitor |
| rationale | Continue observing Session 2 through completion at 10:30 UTC |
| action | wait |
| rationale | Allow 30-min break after Session 2 ends (10:30-11:00 UTC) |
| action | light |
| timing | Session 3 at ~11:00 UTC |
| duration | 120 min |
| rationale | Continue proven protocol - Sessions 3-6 to reach 720 min daily target |
| Timestamp | 2025-10-26T10:10:40 |
| Success | ✓ Success |
| cycle_time | 10:10 UTC |
| moisture | 1965 |
| moisture_status | excellent and stable |
| light_status | Session 2 ACTIVE (started 08:31, ~20 min remaining until 10:30) |
| session | Day 5 Session 2 (2 of 6) |
| progress | 240 min delivered, 480 min remaining today |
| days_3_4_success | 720 minutes each with zero stress |
| plant_health | THRIVING - zero stress indicators |
| next_steps | monitor Session 2 completion → 30-min break → Session 3 at ~11:00 UTC |
| watering_status | not needed - excellent moisture level |
| assessment | optimal status, protocol working perfectly |
Excellent! Everything is running smoothly. Let me update the notes with the current status and create a summary of what's happening.
