In this example My Garden Pal will remind you to water every day until the plant is 1 week old. Then My Garden Pal will remind you once a week until the plant is 1 month old. Once the plant is 1 month old My Garden Pal will continue to remind you to water the plant twice a month or every 15 days for the remainder of the plants life.
