My app tells me to winterize my caladium tomorrow and then water it on Wednesday. I don’t understand. If I winterize it, why would I water it?🫤 should I water it tomorrow and then winterize it Wednesday?

It’s doing the same thing for my olive tree I just got. Wants me to water it. Then winterize it. And in a few days water it again lol

The app isn’t perfect. But very helpful for me. I went from zero plants in July to now I have 20 plants. I’ve discovered my green (ish) thumb lol. I’ve learned not to stick the the apps watering schedule. It’s general. Everything else is good though. I love all the info and the community. Very helpful.

My strawberry star caladium I already went dormant... My Miss muffet palladium still has two leaves but she's on her way out LOL but my caladium magnificent is still big and beautiful and going strong so I'm not winterizing it yet😉😆🙌
