Anyone else feel like Plantaās watering schedule is suddenly like way off?? I have 35 plants and I pay pretty close attention to them, but Iāve had to water quite a few DAYS before Planta was going to tell me. And it wonāt fix the algorithm after I add the water š¤¦š»āāļø
mine is usually the opposite problem š

I feel like it used to be early a lot, but thatās fine and you can just snooze it. But when itās a mix of early and late itās just weird. Been considering giving custom schedules for them but thatās so much work to do for every plant

I do this actually and itās fun to see the patterns in types of plants watering schedules. I have about 140 plants and basically all of them are custom scheduled

Yea I donāt really tend to use the watering thing on here and moreso just mark down when I do water, and just to have a comprehensive list of all my plants lol Like it wants me to water my prayer plant and it doesnāt need it š

I use a moisture meter since my chocolate mint plant supposedly needs water every day but I imagine itāll get root rot if I do that.

I almost killed my ZZ Raven plant because of Planta. The poor thing nearly drowned from overwatering. Itās the water meter and chopsticks from now on.

Honestly I get both case scenarios of having to water it way sooner than it says or āunderwatering itā āitās sickā. Donāt take it too seriously! I think itās a good guide to care but obviously use your best judgement. All depends on environment too

Umm. Yeah I agree, itās kind of all over the place atm. I have one plant that has been giving me notifications way too early. I keep snoozing, saying itās wet and it doesnāt fix the issue. Meanwhile another succulent I keep having to snooze and I donāt get the option to indicate itās wet. On the other hand, I have one plant thatās bone dry that I want to water more often. I indicated itās wet for a while, now I need to do the opposite, but again that option never came up. I ended up deleting that plant and starting over. Sighā¦these schedule changes work for the most part, but Iām still having to stay on top of it to catch the edge cases.

I never use the Planta schedule for watering more so to occasionally check if Iāve forgotten any plants for long amounts of time or to get a generally idea of when I should water. I also find it weird that I need to water my snake plants every few days, they hate that. So I think thatās a bit weird
