Your garden,
one good round.
Friday, Sep 18, 2026
No plateau-confirmed watering today. #4 has crossed its dry reference but remains on hold. Weigh G2 and #2; check G3’s leaf cycle, H3’s strands and #3’s upper mix. The ten overnight weigh-ins are already accounted for.

Today's quick list
Water candidates have a confirmed plateau; water only if your usual moisture/readiness check confirms they are ready. Dry-reference-only pots stay out of the Water list.
No watering candidates with a confirmed plateau today.

Dry reference reached — waiting for plateau 1
The historical reference is reached, but a sustained plateau is not confirmed. Hold watering; these pots are separate from the Water list.
#4P22Kiwi aeoniumDry reference reached — waiting for plateau−6.8g/day
Hold watering: the historical dry reference is reached, but plateau is not yet supported. The 2:25 a.m. September 18 reading satisfies yesterday’s follow-up; do not repeat it today. A useful next reading is September 19 morning or evening, at least about a day later. Assess much of the mix and active versus resting rosettes before any later watering decision.

The selected tail is 1,014.5 → 1,001.5 → 992 → 984.5 g over 5.04 days. Its regression loss is 5.94 g/day versus 14.13 earlier, and the latest interval still loses 6.80 g/day. The 7 g reference undershoot is not a plateau or proof of dry soil. The +150.5 g dry-stone correction is already included; do not apply it again.

Readings that resolve a missing reference or help with the next care decision.
G2P23Paper spine cactusPriority weigh-ins—g/day
Weigh once this evening, honoring the September 18 follow-up already requested. The sole current-cycle reading is 406.5 g on September 15, 56.5 g above reference. The earliest historical window begins September 19 evening, so a current observation is useful now. Hold watering.

#2P20Shared succulent planterPriority weigh-ins−58.54g/day
Weigh once today, preferably this evening, within the established September 18–19 follow-up window. The last measured 1,729 g is 205 g above reference, but the actual recent decline was 58.54 g/day. This will locate the pot before relying on its more distant forecast. Hold watering; the extra photo health concern remains withdrawn.

- AI follow-up review: the image does not establish an active health problem. The extra inspection request is withdrawn; retain the photo as a comparison baseline.

G3P28Royal Flush split rockCheck only−0.58g/day
Check the emerging inner leaves gently for firmness and compare whether the older outer leaves are shrinking. Hold watering and feeding while this leaf-cycle uncertainty remains. The September 16 photos show the emerging pair and outer leaves retaining volume, but cannot establish firmness. Do not weigh merely to chase the old dry reference.

Check the upper roughly 2 inches of actual mix beneath the dressing and compare the leaflet angle and pale marks with the September 16 photo. No repeat weighing or watering is requested from today’s evidence. The money tree uses upper-mix readiness, not cactus-level dryness; leaf angle alone does not establish thirst.

The latest interval lost 229 g over 3.93 days (58.29 g/day). The selected tail still loses 54.08 g/day versus 61.22 earlier, so a sustained plateau is not supported.

A second look at the evidence
🤖 AI recommendation
A separate assessment of this report's data. Any difference from the main list is explained below.
💧 I would water none from the reviewed evidence today, and I would add no fertilizer. No pot has a confirmed plateau; the dated photographs and current curves do not support an earlier watering exception.
⏳ I would hold #4: it is 7 g below its corrected reference but still loses 6.80 g/day over the latest interval. I would also hold #6: its broader curve is slower, yet the newest interval increased to 1.80 g/day and its four-point spread still fails the plateau test. Their next useful weights are September 19, not another repeat today.
⚖️ I would weigh G2 and #2 this evening. G2 needs its promised sample before the earliest historical window; #2’s measured 58.54 g/day decline makes a current position more useful than waiting for its forecast date.
⚖️ I would skip repeat weighing for A1, A2, B3, D3, F2, G1, #3, #4, #5 and #6 after the overnight readings. Keep the remaining intermediate samples anchored to September 19; A1, A2 and G1 also merit follow-up then because their reference margins are narrowing.
👀 I would check #3’s upper mix beneath the dressing and compare its leaflets, keep G3 on the inner-firmness/outer-shrinkage leaf-cycle check, and inspect H3’s strands before assigning a cause. H1’s perlite, H2’s normal condition, the likely old C1/F2 marks and the withdrawn #2 concern do not need added health tasks.
