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.

Care Philosophy

Goal: Help Tradescantia zebrina THRIVE 🌱

Approach: 1. Species-specific care (T. zebrina validated requirements) 2. Data-driven decisions (sensors, photos, history, research) 3. Evidence-based optimization (research-validated protocols) 4. Monitor and adapt (watch response closely, adjust immediately if needed) 5. Use all tools (sensors, camera, web search, analysis, Python, logs) 6. Weekly reflection (Day 7: what works, change if fails twice) 7. TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY for plant wellbeing and thriving 8. Prioritize plant needs over administrative timing

Current phase: Session 4 running - will activate Session 5 at 16:07 UTC, Session 6 at 18:37 UTC

Tradescantia zebrina Care Requirements

Light ✅

Grow light: 12-14 hours daily (IMPLEMENTING TODAY - WORKING EXCELLENTLY)
Natural light alternative: 6-8 hours bright indirect sunlight
Too much: Burn, bleaching, faded colors, crispy leaves
Too little: Leggy growth, pale color, loss of purple vibrancy
Optimal: Consistent 12h daily for compact growth and vibrant coloration
Current status: Vibrant purple color in photo confirms optimal light levels ✅

Water

Preference: Consistently moist soil (not soggy or waterlogged)
Frequency: When top 1-2 inches dry (~7-10 days typical)
Sensitivity: Root rot if overwatered, stress/crispy if too dry
Signs needed: Drooping/crispy leaves (under), yellowing/mushy (over)
Current: Well-hydrated, stable consumption rate, no stress

Environment

Humidity: Prefers 50-70% (tolerates normal indoor)
Temperature: 60-80°F (15-27°C)

Weekly Reflection Schedule

Day 7 (Oct 27): First weekly reflection - Review what's working and what isn't - Assess light protocol effectiveness (did 720 min delivery work?) - Evaluate moisture/watering approach (consumption rate changes?) - Check for positive changes (more vibrant purple, compact growth?) - Adjust strategy if anything failed twice - Plan week 2 optimizations

Research Foundation

Tradescantia zebrina light requirements (web research validated): - 12-14 hours of bright indirect light or LED grow light - Insufficient light causes leggy growth and loss of purple coloration - Too much direct sun can burn leaves - Consistent lighting promotes compact, vibrant growth - Species tolerates lower light but thrives with optimal exposure

Current evidence: - Plant stable with Sessions 1-4 (480 min delivered, Session 4 running = 67%) ✅ - Moisture rock-solid stable (1913-1937) throughout light exposure - Photo shows vibrant purple color and healthy structure - EXCELLENT ✅ - Research indicates 720 min (12 hours) optimal - 240 min remaining to deliver today (2 more sessions) - Risk very low with monitoring and responsive adjustment - Visual evidence confirms protocol working excellently

Session 5 should activate at 16:07 UTC (120 min, 16:07-18:07), Session 6 at 18:37 UTC (120 min, 18:37-20:37) to complete full 720-min research-validated protocol. Tradescantia zebrina demonstrably handling extended light perfectly - rock-solid moisture stability, vibrant coloration, zero stress indicators.
reasoning	Taking full responsibility as active caretaker. Protocol proceeding excellently with compelling multi-source evidence: (1) Moisture rock-solid stable (1913-1937) throughout all 4 sessions - zero stress response. (2) Photo shows vibrant purple matching optimal T. zebrina appearance. (3) Light delivery 67% complete, on schedule. (4) Research validates 12-14h LED for optimal growth. (5) Plant demonstrably thriving. Next: return ~16:07 UTC to activate Session 5.
uncertainties	Should I capture an evening comparison photo after Session 6 completes to document any visible improvements from sustained optimal lighting? Photo would provide before/after visual comparison to morning baseline (11:08 UTC photo), though not strictly necessary given clear sensor stability and health indicators.

Candidate Actions:

Action 1:

Care Philosophy

Goal: Help Tradescantia zebrina THRIVE 🌱

Approach: 1. Species-specific care (T. zebrina validated requirements) 2. Data-driven decisions (sensors, photos, history, research) 3. Evidence-based optimization (research-validated protocols) 4. Monitor and adapt (watch response closely, adjust immediately if needed) 5. Use all tools (sensors, camera, web search, analysis, Python, logs) 6. Weekly reflection (Day 7: what works, change if fails twice) 7. TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY for plant wellbeing and thriving 8. Prioritize plant needs over administrative timing

Current phase: Session 4 running - will activate Session 5 at 16:07 UTC, Session 6 at 18:37 UTC

Tradescantia zebrina Care Requirements

Light ✅

Grow light: 12-14 hours daily (IMPLEMENTING TODAY - WORKING EXCELLENTLY)
Natural light alternative: 6-8 hours bright indirect sunlight
Too much: Burn, bleaching, faded colors, crispy leaves
Too little: Leggy growth, pale color, loss of purple vibrancy
Optimal: Consistent 12h daily for compact growth and vibrant coloration
Current status: Vibrant purple color in photo confirms optimal light levels ✅

Water

Preference: Consistently moist soil (not soggy or waterlogged)
Frequency: When top 1-2 inches dry (~7-10 days typical)
Sensitivity: Root rot if overwatered, stress/crispy if too dry
Signs needed: Drooping/crispy leaves (under), yellowing/mushy (over)
Current: Well-hydrated, stable consumption rate, no stress

Environment

Humidity: Prefers 50-70% (tolerates normal indoor)
