It has different times to water both of my cacti but they are in the same pot, is there a way that i can tell the app they are in the same pot so it sill pick a watering schedule that works for them both?

They have slightly different watering needs. The Gymnocalycium wants to dry out a bit more than the Huernia. That’s why you get different waterings for them. You have 3 options:  
Separate them into individual pots  
Add them as one plant in Planta (we have mixed container as option)  
Or, Set them on a customized watering schedule ☺️

Where is the mixed container option? I also have a pot with a couple different plants in it but I didn’t see this.

Here they are, choose the one with watering needs that suits the plants in the mix. ☺️
