# I'm confused about something that happens in Planta. I have my plants…

_Posted by Lyds and Leelees Mum on 2026-08-23_

I'm confused about something that happens in Planta. I have my plants set as being fertilized with watering but Planta will sometimes direct me to fertilize on one day then water the next even though it was just watered. Is there a way to fix this?

Did you customize the watering and/or fertilizing schedule? Or use the default Planta schedule?

#### Lyds and Leelees Mum replied on 2026-08-23

I used the default. Sorry, I should have mentioned that.

#### Phil replied on 2026-08-23

In that case I’m at a loss also. I know it creates confusion when you “snooze” a watering repeatedly and then it catches up to the fertilizing task. But yours is opposite that scenario. 🤷‍♂️

I used to have the same issue. I have over 400 houseplants so now I use fertilizer (a diluted measurement) every time I water. My plants love it and I don’t have to keep track of which ones need to be fertilized. Maybe that will work for you! Good luck!

#### Amie206 replied on 2026-08-24

I do this too. It’s SO MUCH easier than trying to track who’s been fed vs who just needs water

Yep. Turn off fertilizer in the app and use about 1/4 strength every time.

Thank you so much everyone! I am still new-ish to this and the community helps so much!
