What are you seeing?Here Yolia compares temperature, humidity and other air data with the current stage of the plant.
Why it mattersYou don't have to memorize numbers — Yolia alerts you when a weather combination deserves your attention.
How to think about itFirst check if there are any active alerts; If there isn't, you don't need to analyze each number separately.
Very simple example30°C can be totally tolerable in one context, and problematic if the air is also very dry and the root does not replenish water in time.
What are you seeing?Temperature, humidity, radiation and wind together modify the evaporative demand, the thermal balance and the response of the plant's stomata.
Why it mattersConnecting these signals avoids drawing a conclusion of climate risk from a single isolated piece of data, such as temperature alone.
How to think about itReview current conditions, active alerts, upcoming hours, and the trust/source of the data, in that order.
Very simple exampleThe same temperature of 30°C can be normal on a humid day, and risky on another day with very dry air — the number alone is not enough.
What are you seeing?The advanced reading adds the physiological mechanisms at play (transpiration, VPD) and separates the observed data from the climatic inference.
Why it mattersA climate alert must be mechanistically plausible, traceable to its source, and proportional to the actual quality of the data.
How to think about itDistinguish variable, mechanism, interaction, uncertainty, limitation, and what additional evidence would confirm the real risk.
Very simple exampleThe confidence of an alert depends directly on the source of the climate data used — not all sources have the same certainty.
Option 7 — Root flushing (Flushing into soil)
When to use it: if you notice signs of salt or nutrient overload in the substrate (burnt ends, white accumulation on the surface, or before a strong recalibration). It is a reversible option: it does not change your formula, just cleans the substrate so that the next application works better.
- Calculate the triple water rule according to the liters of your pot (P5): for example, a 15L pot needs 45L of clean water for a complete wash.
- Adjust the pH of the wash water to 6.0–6.5 before applying — a pH outside that range does not release accumulated salts well.
- Pour the water slowly and allow it to drain completely before continuing to pour — never apply it all at once.
- Repeat the pouring until the water that comes out of the drain is crystal clear, without color or visible sediment.
- Sentinel's mandatory handbrake: after washing, Yolia freezes watering for 72 to 96 hours so that the substrate dries and the roots breathe oxygen before resuming normal watering.
Important: Don't water again before the 72–96 hour window is over, even if the substrate feels dry on top — that break is necessary for the root to breathe oxygen after washing.
