I’m not sure where to ask this question. I’m about to add a grow light to my indoor Portulacaria Afra bonsai. Do I need to adjust the watering schedule when I add this light? Where on this app can I adjust reminders when I add the grow light?

To add a grow light go to your plants settings, then light, and you can toggle on a grow light and set the timeframe it is on from. I’m not sure if it’s an only Planta premium thing but if it is just change it’s window setting to as close to the plant as the grow light would be.

And for the waterings would could add the smallest bit more if you wanted but I think keeping the watering mostly the same is fine.

Yes - it is a premium setting, so I’m going to take Melody’s clever workaround one step further in case you end up having multiple plants for the grow light(s) in one room - I create a separate “location” for the grow light area so that I can easily specify the amount of light they give off. :)
