I don’t get this app. It’s telling me I was supposed to fertilize my Monstera yesterday, but not water for another 3 days?! How does that work??

I changed all mine to "stick" because the liquid fertilizer option was screwing up the water schedule

### Tiff commented on 2025-04-26

Yeah .. I just give it a bit of water with the fertilizer so it doesn't burn the roots.

### nick commented on 2025-04-26

Ya i definitely don't recommend following it to a T, but its a nice reminder to check if still damp and whatnot.

### Sarah commented on 2025-04-26

I take it to mean when using liquid fertilizer then by default it’s also being watered so it’s a 2 in 1 situation. Then you’d regular water it (if needed) in 3 days.

This is how I always understood it

### Roro commented on 2025-04-27

I just straight up not use the schedule on this app 😅
