Create a plant-by-plant watering schedule tailored to the plants, location, and climate provided.
Inputs:

Climate Notes

Steps:
1) Interpret each plant's needs from the plant list (species, pot size or in-ground, light, drainage, age/stage).
2) Align with local conditions (seasonality, rainfall, temperature swings, humidity, wind, water hardness) from Location and Climate notes.
3) Quantify frequency and volume for each season; include both metric and US units.
4) Specify watering method, time of day, and soil moisture checks.
5) Add adjustment rules for heatwaves, rain, and humidity/wind changes; note assumptions if info is missing.
Constraints:
• Plant-specific, not generic.
• Concise, instructional tone.
• Focus on watering only (mention related factors only if they change watering).
• If data is missing, state the assumption briefly.
• Use consistent units (L and gal; cm and in).
Output format (repeat for each plant):
Plant: [name]
Context: [light; container size or in-ground; any notes]
Baseline watering:
- Spring: [frequency] - [amount per watering]
- Summer: [frequency] - [amount per watering]
- Autumn: [frequency] - [amount per watering]
- Winter/dormancy: [frequency] - [amount per watering]
Method: [soak/slow pour/drip; time of day]
Moisture check: [how to test; target depth/reading]
Adjustments:
- Heatwave: [rule]
- Rainy/cool spell: [rule]
- Low humidity/high wind: [rule]
Newly planted vs established: [differences]
Warnings: [common pitfalls]
Consolidated summary:
- Daily: [plants]
- 2-3×/week: [plants]
- Weekly: [plants]
- Biweekly or less: [plants]
<example>
Plants:
- Snake plant (Sansevieria), 20 cm pot indoors, bright indirect light.
- Tomato 'Roma', 15 L container outdoors, full sun.
Location: Austin, Texas, urban balcony.
Climate notes: Hot summers 32-40°C (90-104°F), low humidity, occasional heavy storms, municipal hard water (~200 ppm).
