The recommendations here leave my calatheas chronically underwatered and they're starting to get crispy because of it. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/i6aXzoxoBnTuyC6Sydns1gUT3KfJi0psaQeQnu_qUYk/3ZK3IaLLSsq-3iPcjLtfvQ.webp?size=large) ## 12개의 댓글 ### Springvision님이 2025-08-10에 댓글을 남겼어요. The app is really a suggestion. A reminder. If you do water the plant before the scheduled watering you can put that into the app and it will update your watering schedule. #### Petals n pothos님이 2025-08-12에 답변했습니다. Thank you for the response. I know I can update manually, but with 120+ houseplants I need the app to keep track of who is due to be checked. It tends to underwater the calatheas. Someone else in the thread below showed me how to change the suggested frequency in the app. 🙂 ### Jneyman님이 2025-08-10에 댓글을 남겼어요. Make sure your settings are also correct as far as pot size, plant size, distance to window, heat, AC as all of those variables go into the recommendations #### Petals n pothos님이 2025-08-12에 답변했습니다. They are. ### GreenLeaf님이 2025-08-10에 댓글을 남겼어요. If you go into the plants settings you’ll see a watering schedule, click that and then you can set watering/fert intervals. #### Random Strands님이 2025-08-10에 답변했습니다. Thank you!! I was trying to figure this out for myself also. There is a “custom” settings area I hadn’t known about. Much appreciated. Makes me like the app that much more. 🙂 #### Petals n pothos님이 2025-08-12에 답변했습니다. Perfect. Thank you. ### Random Strands님이 2025-08-10에 댓글을 남겼어요. Great question! Thanks for asking it!! It helped me also. ### Sapphire님이 2025-08-10에 댓글을 남겼어요. I don’t really follow planta’s watering schedule even if I set my own. I always wait a week and use a wooden skewer or my finger to check if the soil is moist/dry. #### Petals n pothos님이 2025-08-12에 답변했습니다. I have too many plants to do it this way. I use the app to remind me what is happening with what plant. I still check them manually before I actually water (I have a moisture meter) to make sure they don't get over watered, but I rely on the app to keep track of when someone is due to get checked. ### Carolinagreenthumb님이 2025-08-11에 댓글을 남겼어요. I ignore the plants watering schedule and ask my plants. I can look at them and then pick them up. If they look a bit shriveled in the leaf or they are light as a feather, they need to be soaked and have it drain out. I usually catch the water in a basin and pour it back over the dirt at least once before the final drain and back they go in their spot. ### Petals n pothos님이 2025-08-12에 댓글을 남겼어요. I have more than 100 houseplants, so this really isn't an option because it's too time consuming. --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
