Function to tell app that watering/ misting has been done early
in progress

Some of my plants have needed watering earlier than the app recommends. Or I have water/ misted them a bit early before going away. It would be great to be able to add a function in for the app to then recalculate when to send the next reminder.
More complex, but if early watering was routinely selected for one plant maybe (e.g. X times per month) maybe send an alert to change the settings in the app to adjust reminder frequency or check for signs of ocerwatering e.g. root rot etc.

A version of this feature has been released for users who have the beta/"see the future" option enabled.
To get access:
- Go to settings.
- Find the "see the future" option and check it if it's not already checked (see first screenshot).
To use:
- Care actions for a plant will appear on the plants page in "plants" > "my plant name".
- On a day where a plant has not already been watered, there will be an option available for "plant needs watering early" (second screenshot).
It's our sincerest hope that this feature is not needed too often, however, when it is, we will take that seriously and we'll be using that as a sign that we need to update our data for a particular species (or for particular conditions).
We'd love to know what you think, please comment with any thoughts you have about it!

To be able to add a watering/misting entry if a plant is dry

A couple of my plants have been dry and needed extra watering and misting.
To avoid over watering for plants that can be dry but still thrive, The function could ask the same questions i.e is the base of the stem dry or is it dry all the way through, before suggesting watering.

Great idea Corinne!

Thanks Pippa, great idea. We have got some ideas in the work around this. We'll keep this updated to let you know.
