I use a rotation for this:

Task: watering
Subtask: water flowers
Subtask: water flowers
Subtask: water flowers and fertilize

Now set task "watering" as a recurrence
regenerate 3 days after completion
select *advanced options*
Reset all subtasks to uncompleted if all subtasks are completed
Automatically recur when any subtask is completed

Also set task "watering" to:
Complete subtasks in order

Every three days you will get a task to water the flowers.  The third time
it will "add fertilizer."  When that subtask completes the task regenerates
and starts over...

Hope that helps...
