P.S. I've been coloring alot to calm my brain and I Really like how this came out!
P.p.s isn't this #yellowgemFicus @LatiTish84 gifted me perty?!?? #plantsisπŸ’šπŸŒ±
I do that sometimes. I just water the ones for tomorrow today. It depends on how occupied I am. Sometimes, you have to snooze something. Do what you have to do. That’s all I can say. Btw, I really like your art piece! And the plant looks really happy! It’s a win!
@AnthuriumQueen thank you!
Yes i watered a couple and just snoozed everybody else
I don’t follow Greg at all for watering. It’s too complicated. I water as needed. Mostly works
Lol I hear that, waking up to Greg saying "99 plants are suuuupperrr thirsty!" Freaking kills me πŸ’€πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
I’ve been having issues with the watering schedule (for a few weeks). It tells me I haven’t watered some plants in 3 weeks or even 1 month and I know it’s not true. Sure, I have a forgetful brain so I could have forgotten to confirm that I watered. πŸ€ͺπŸ˜† Except, it keeps happening so, after a while, it becomes more likely that it’s not my error anymore… πŸ€” Lol
Ohhh myyyyy πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ OAN...the coloring and the plant is reeeeally perty πŸ₯°
There have been a few glitches here and there but you can reach out to @RJG about it and they’ll take a look. There are sone plants I haven’t watered in about a month but it’s due to the soil I put them in. I just checked them this early morning and ended up looking to see when they are due. They’re coming up. The plants aren’t showing signs of stress due to lack of care so they’re good. I tend to water a bit on the lighter side and since my plants are environmentally monitored on my phone via a sensor, I can see what’s going on. I have lots of lights set up to dupe them into thinking it’s Spring or Autumn so they aren’t likely to go dormant. Their blooms last longer in this temperature.

I once felt stressed over the notifications but it took getting used to. It’s really helpful. I even water a day ahead if I know I’m too engaged the next day. I also remind myself that I have to do it while the lights are on. If the lights are off and the next day isn’t possible, I flip on alternate lights so I can find each plant that needs watering. The timers force me to do the work by a certain time. You aren’t alone. However, do reach out to the #gregteam
developers and tell them about the glitches via #GregFeedback. They won’t know unless you tell them. 🫢🏽🫢🏽🫢🏽
I like having the reminders but you’re right, it’s not foolproof. Some I just look at Greg and know β€œNope, not yet.” I’m hoping that the AI will adjust and learn from when I snooze someone.
Lol
I still keep calendar
@BeesZenGarden I definitely forget to log my watering for plants that the app didn't tell me to water lol, then I question whether I actually did water it recently or not when it eventually comes up, so I just say I watered it and then start the cycle over again πŸ˜‚
@RealSimpleMama I do the same! Especially in the winter, my apartment is so sunless all day almost every day, I've rotted a couple of plants for not being able to dry out at the top, lost a couple and had to cut and replant a couple others. I mostly wait until we have a brief patch of sunlight and then I just go hard with watering and set them all in my south facing window lol
@UnbiasedTree I like the concept of the reminders, it truly can help a lot! But no one knows my plants better than I do. πŸ˜ŽπŸŒ±β˜€οΈβ€οΈ like Barbosa in pirates of the Caribbean, the watering reminders are β€œmore like guidelines than actual rules.” 🀣
@UnbiasedTree bahahah i had to go make it.
Whenever Greg tells you that you have to water 67 plants TODAY OR ELSE.
@RealSimpleMama πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ for real
LOL I've been keeping my own watering log, each day I write down the recommended plants that need watering. Android tends to be very glitchy 😱
I agree, Greg definitely isn't foolproof lol. I am forgetful and I swear I'll get a prompt to water a plant and I'll stop and think... didn't I JUST water you a few days ago??
So i go by the weight of the pot. If it's super light, I know, ok let me water you. But I have nearly 200 plants! So it gets to be a headache like dang am I THAT forgetful?? Lol so yes I have to trust myself over the app.
@RealSimpleMama lollll yesssss!
@greenlikethumb thank you!
@EdmundG I've kinda gotten a rhythm going that I know what plants in what section are coming up on watering but I was in the weeds there for a while when I moved my plants indoors. I'm sure I'll be lost again once I move them back outside in the spring lol
@ManyLime it’s tricky πŸ˜πŸ’š
