Could someone please explain why the app insists on misting and watering the same plant on the same day? 🤔🤨

I’m not sure. I’ve also heard/read misting could actually be bad for the plants. I don’t know what to believe!

Oh wow

You should take the alerts as reminders to check if your plant needs water rather than a demand. Also do your own research. 🪴😊

Thank you for that explanation ☺️

Hi there, I turn misting reminders off. Misting only temporarily increases humidity. IMO you’re better off either not misting if the humidity is around or above 50% for most standard houseplants. If you have lots of thirsty tropical plants, probably better to invest in a humidifier or set up grow cabinets. Best of luck! 🌿🌿🌿

Not a problem! 💚

Because they accomplish two different things. One is needed water while the other is to add humidity. Although it’s questionable if misting really does much of anything.
