Espostoa sp., likely Espostoa melanostele subsp. nana

Follow watering, growth, and observations over time. Compare pot weights within the same setup to see how the mix dries between waterings.

Calculated from the log

Trend snapshot

Height and width trends use only measured readings. Corrected readings count only when their measurement method is Ruler. Estimates, blank-quality readings, and Removed records stay in observation history but do not affect growth analytics.

Weight change—Needs 2 weights
3-reading weight mean—Active pot setup only
Dry-weight spread—Needs 2 dry weights
Wet-weight spread—Needs 2 wet weights
Height trend—Needs 2 measured readings.
Width trend—Needs 2 measured readings.
Watering interval—Needs 2 water events
Observation coverage—No dated history

Structured care history

Care milestones

Counts come from dated Water, Repot, Flower, Photo, Pest, Check, and Rotation events. A zero means nothing has been logged yet.

Current pot size—No repot logged
Nutrient waterings0No fertilizer logged
Flower events0No flowers logged
Photo links0No photos logged
Pest / issue events0No issues logged
Plant checks0No checks logged
Rotations0No rotation logged
Clean events0No cleaning logged
Prune events0No pruning logged

Current pot setup

Dry/wet weight baseline

The averages use only the active pot setup. A baseline becomes ready after at least two dry and two wet readings.

Waiting for data
Pot setup1Increment after repotting
Dry average—0 samples
Wet average—0 samples
Water capacity—Wet average minus dry average
Estimated water remaining—Only shown after a usable baseline

Read the weight trend alongside plant firmness, moisture in the mix, and recent growth.

Interactive history

Trends over time

Hover or keyboard-focus a chart point for its exact value. Growth charts and rates exclude estimates and removed records. Rates are descriptive slopes, not forecasts.

Pot weight

Current pot setup; dry and wet means appear when available.

Plant dimensions

Measured height and width stay separate even when recorded on different days. Estimates remain available in the table below.

Watering intervals

Elapsed days between recorded soak-to-runoff events.

Event mix

Counts active event types in the selected chart range. Removed audit records stay in the timeline and history table.

Care activity

Dated events are separated into labeled lanes so overlapping care remains visible. Removed audit records remain visible and are labeled.

Append-only log

Observation history

Blank cells mean that item was not checked during that observation.

Google Sheets workflow

How to add a reading

Notes appear on this public page. Keep private details and precise home-location information out of the sheet.

  1. Open Quick log and find the permanent row for this plant. The P-number remains stable even if its physical pot label changes.
  2. Fill only what you checked. Weight, height, width, watering, and condition do not need to happen together.
  3. For weights, use Dry immediately before a soak, Wet after runoff has stopped, andRoutine for an in-between reading.
  4. Tick Save. The logger appends one or more event-specific History rows and clears the input fields; older readings are never overwritten.
  5. In the mobile logger, Repot records the old and new pot size and advances Pot setupautomatically. Setup 1 means the first tracked whole-pot configuration—not a 1-inch pot.
