I have all my plants, for 9 months now, in Naked Root planters. I fill the outer pot and when the pot is empty , I wait 7-14 days before watering again. How do I include that in my plant info so I don’t get watering notices? All my plants are doing well in them. They only have an 8” pot, so I bought a 10 \& 12” self watering pot today with cords to put in the bottom of the pot to suck up water. Does this really work?  
Any tips will be appreciated!

Mark that it’s still wet when you get them and the AI will learn. I find them helpful to remind me to refill my reservoirs/ leca set ups.

If you’re waiting 7-14 days to water, that is still something that can/ should be on a watering schedule:)

Self watering pots are great for plants that like to stay consistently moist i found that my plants that like to dry out a little do not appreciate these types of pots

Yes, I was only getting them for the plants that are it in Naked Root and like you said want to be a bit moist! 🤞 it works well for them! Thanks for writing. I need to complete the info on each plant, but I have about 2 dozen and haven’t put the info in yet.

I would just put them on custom schedules. But if you snooze the water schedule it's supposed to lengthen the watering time too

Wow, good to know. I’m still learning about my plants and now this new App. I think this App has a lot of features and info I’ve yet to learn.

They seem to be adding new ones often too
