# Is there a way to setup self watering for plants so it reminds water…

Is there a way to setup self watering for plants so it reminds water need based on that?

Is there a way to setup automated watering like backyard plants are watered automatic everyday. Just want to be able to track the health and fertilizer for that.

For my self watering plants, I put them in as I normally would (pot size/texture and yes to drainage). Snooze as 'soil is wet' until the reservoir is empty for at least 2-4 days (depending on size of the pot) then add water and note in the app. It'll take longer for a more accurate schedule to form, but it will get there eventually.
