Hi! I’m new to plants and only started using Planta yesterday. Have a quick question on the settings - all my logged plants had a banner display “low light warning”. But I placed my plants on the balcony and used a meter to test for the lighting, they all are well placed based on the plants. Curious if I can ignore the banner, or should I re-locate the plants?  
Ty!!

You’ll learn quickly that Planta isn’t accurate on several things including watering schedules. Make sure to do finger checks on your soil and water when YOU feel necessary.

You can also go into the settings for each site and select the light level of the site

I have a few plants that are thriving even though they are in locations where the app says they don’t have enough light. If you’ve done your due diligence, I say you are good to go. Good luck! 🪴☺️

Yeah, every plant has their own personality. So true!
