If I’m using self watering pots, is there a different setting I should use within Planta to make sure I’m watering and caring for everyone properly?

Here to ask the same question!

FYI this is the response I got from support: About self-watering pots, we do not completely support this. But what you could do is to change the soil type to either water or semi-hydro, the water tasks will be more adjusted according to self-watering pots with this option 🙂

Do let me know if you have any other questions!
