Hey planty friends! I know Planta suggestions for watering are more of a guideline and reminder rather than a strict plan for watering, but have you found that if Planta says to water every six days, you’re actually watering every 2 weeks more or less? Or is it just me? One plant in question (prob others but this one I’m paying attention to now) is a FLF and just had a new leaf grow out nice and healthy. It’s in a clear pot so I can see the roots and all looks good health and size wise. So the plant is fine just the watering suggestion is very off for our needs. Thanks all for your input 😊

    I also find Planta can be very off for some plants. I have to assume it’s because it can’t know all your specific conditions. For me, I use a very chunky mix for most of my aroids. I can’t seem to find a good soil option for that. I find I have to water more often than Planta suggests or they start looking sad. I also have one plant that they want me to water every 2 days but it only actually needs watered once a week. I just use it as a reminder to check my plants in case I forget and to keep track of all the care I give them.

      Ok I have also noticed too that some plants feel (by weight, I check sometimes how heavy the pot is) like they need water a day or two sooner. But it’s super hot here in north Florida so I’m sure it’s hard to be an exact science 🤓

    I use custom water schedules for all my plants and adjust it to their water consumption rates. Usually every 4-5 days for the small and medium pots and 6-7 for the large pots on average.

    Yea I always check with my moisture meter before I water with their suggestions. I have a big rubber tree that I only water like once a month and planta suggests me water it every 6 days 🤣. That’s the only one I ever really have an issue with though

    Planta is always off, you have to use custom watering settings.
