Why is it recommended to water my penta every 21 days. Some of them start drooping much earlier.

Planta uses more for a recommendation rather than an exact schedule. It’s more to direct you, and based off lab/their natural habitats. For indoor plants a moisture meter has helped a lot, or a simple popsicle stick to tell weather it’s dry or moist. But now to your plant, I’d recommend every 3-6 days depending on where it’s placed. More direct light is going to place you at the 3-4 day area. Make sure to water deeply and evenly until drainage comes from the bottom just slightly

That sounds more reasonable. Thanks.

Make sure you mark the plant as watered in the app. Over time it will adjust the schedule

Planta is not reminding me to water any of my greenhouse plants at all and hasn’t in weeks!!! I pay for this app and it is failing me. It isn’t giving me the prompt to do updates anymore either.

Have you emailed them about the problem? Plants>Settings>Contact Us

Heyy Stefanie sorry to hear that, I haven’t had the same issues personally not to invalidate yours. But maybe try deleting and re-downloading the app. It should clear your app cache, and you can also reinstall your subscriptions if applicable. Goodluck, sometimes it’s a glitch or a mismatch with phone updates and app updates.

I’d be afraid to lose all my data for my 231 plants

#### Stefanie Cooper svarade den 2026-01-15

I didn’t know I could email them

Stephanie it’s under “Settings”.
