I'm new to Planta and worried the watering schedule for most of my potted plants is too infrequent. I used to water my plants every day (which was maybe too much!) but, for example, the soil in my tomato plant is dry but it's telling me to wait five more days to water it. I know I can just water it earlier but doesn't that kind of defeat the point of the app if I have to keep judging when it needs to be watered myself?

The more you water and mark it watered the app will update the schedule.

Everyday is definitely too often. The best way to water is water until water runs out the bottom of the pot and then don't water it again until it dries to the appropriate level. Some plants require water everyday but most do not. Overwatering is your biggest enemy. Planta is a guide. Sometimes you have to let it go for a day or two. There's a snooze button if you look close enough. Sometimes even a skip button if necessary. I usually snooze for 2 days if I think the plant is not dry enough. Planter cannot gauge the heat in your home or the dryness so you have to use a little common sense.

You'll get the hang of it.

Thanks, that's reassuring! I think I am probably not watering enough when I do water, then
