Reminder to water plants on WhatsApp

The money plant survived the move, but it may not survive another week of being forgotten.

How to set it on WhatsApp

Text RememberMyTask “Remind me every 2 days at 8am to water the plants”. It repeats every two days. For plants that need less, try “every Sunday at 9am”. Reply done when it is watered, or snooze if you are out.

Questions

How often should I water indoor plants?

It depends on the plant, pot and season. A simple test: water when the top inch of soil is dry. Summers need more, monsoon and winter less.

Can I change the frequency for the season?

Yes. Send “list”, then edit the reminder, or tell the bot the new repeat, like “change plants to every 4 days”.

What about when I travel?

Set a one-off for the day before you leave to arrange a neighbour or self-watering bottles, and snooze or cancel the repeat while you are away.
