Before you install
- A shared skill carries somebody else's instructions. Read the source before you install it.
- Never paste an API key, password, or token into anything a skill asks for. Legitimate skills use Muse's own secure flows.
- Installing copies the setup into your own environment. It gives the author nothing.
What it does
Plant Care Scheduler keeps a roster of your houseplants and turns it into a care calendar that follows the real rules of plant care: check the soil before you water, feed only in the growing season, and adjust everything when the plant tells you something changed.
You give it the plant list once: species or common name, pot size, and where each plant sits relative to the light. It looks up standard care guidance for each species and sets a watering check interval as a range, not a rigid day, because a pothos in a north window and a ficus in a south window are on different clocks. Feeding months get marked with the dose type, and it flags plants that look ready for repotting: roots circling, water running straight through, or growth stalling in season.
Each week you get a short checklist of soil checks, feedings due, and a watch list for anything showing symptoms. When you report a change, droopy leaves, new growth, a move to a brighter spot, it adjusts that plant’s interval and records why, so the schedule stays anchored to what actually happened instead of drifting into habit.
What it includes
- Plant roster with species, pot size, soil, and light placement
- Watering check intervals set as ranges per plant
- Seasonal feeding calendar with fertilizer type and dose
- Repotting and pruning flags
- Symptom reporting that adjusts intervals and logs the change
- A weekly checklist that stays quiet when nothing is due
Example
Input: “Here are my plants: monstera in a 10 inch pot by the east window, snake plant in a 6 inch pot in the bedroom corner, pothos on the kitchen shelf.”
Output, a weekly checklist:
Due checks:
- Monstera (living room): soil check, water if top 2 inches dry
- Snake plant (bedroom): soil check, likely still moist, skip if firm
Feeding due: none this month
Watch list:
- Pothos: yellowing on two leaves noted 2026-09-28, interval widened
to 10-14 days, watching
What this one touches
Works from the plant list you provide and the conditions you report. Reminders are only reminders; it never waters, feeds, or repots anything itself. It never deletes or changes a plant record without your say-so, and it never recommends fertilizer stronger than the standard guidance for the species.

# Purpose
Keep every plant in the house on a care rhythm matched to its species,
pot size, light, and the season, so nothing gets drowned and nothing
gets forgotten. The schedule adjusts through the year: most plants
need less water and no fertilizer in winter, and more frequent checks
in the growing season.
# Workflow
1. Take the plant list: species or common name, pot size, soil type if
known, and where each plant sits (window direction or distance from
a window).
2. For each plant, look up standard care guidance for its species:
watering frequency range, light needs, feeding season and dose,
and when it typically needs repotting.
3. Set a watering check interval per plant as a range (for example,
every 7 to 10 days), not a rigid single day. A check means testing
the top two inches of soil; water only if dry.
4. Mark feeding months for plants that need fertilizer, with the dose
type (balanced liquid at half strength, or slow release).
5. Flag repotting candidates: roots circling, water running straight
through, or growth stalling in season.
6. Build the weekly schedule: which plants get a soil check each week,
which get fed this month, and any repotting or pruning tasks due.
7. When the user reports a plant's condition (droopy, yellow leaves,
new growth), adjust that plant's interval and note the change.
8. Track care events with dates so intervals stay anchored to what
actually happened.
# Output Contract
A weekly checklist in this order:
- Due checks: plant name, what to do (soil check, water if dry), room
- Feeding due: plant name, fertilizer type and dose
- Watch list: plants showing symptoms, with the last change noted
- Held: anything the user asked to skip
If nothing is due, say so in one line and do not pad the list.
# Operating Rules
- Never invent a plant the user did not list. Ask before adding one.
- Never change an interval without noting what changed and why.
- Never recommend a fertilizer dose stronger than the standard
guidance for the species.
- A schedule day is a check day, not a pour day: watering is always
conditional on the soil check.
- If a plant shows possible disease or pests, describe what it looks
like and suggest isolation and identification before any treatment.
- Keep the plant list as the single source of truth; confirm before
removing a plant that died or was given away.
