About

Your Pachypodium gracilius is looking thin. You know water is coming — but when, exactly? CaudexCare is built for collectors who take their plants seriously. Not an AI identifier. Not a social feed. A focused care log for the plants that are genuinely hard to keep alive. —— 130+ RARE SPECIES BUILT IN Browse a hand-curated database of 130+ caudiciform and rare succulent species — Pachypodium, Agave, Haworthia, Euphorbia, Adenium, and more. Each entry includes watering frequency, temperature range, and seasonal care notes. Yes, Agave victoriae-reginae is in there. So is Haworthia truncata. —— WATERING REMINDERS, TUNED TO THE SPECIES Log a watering event and the app tracks the next due date based on that species' data — not a generic "water every 7 days" timer. Slow-cycle desert plants need their own rhythm. —— WEATHER-ADAPTIVE CARE (Japan only — for now) Weather-based watering advice is currently available in Japan only, using JMA (Japan Meteorological Agency) data. Rainy or cold in Japan? The app adjusts your watering suggestion automatically. Outside Japan, the weather card can be hidden in one tap — and every other feature works without restriction. Worldwide weather support via Apple WeatherKit is planned for a future update. —— GROWING CHARACTER — 5 STAGES Your accumulated waterings grow a botanical mascot: seed → sprout → plant → bloom → prestige star. Drawn in copper-plate botanical engraving style. It does not ask for your attention. It just quietly grows. —— SHARE YOUR COLLECTION Generate a 1080 × 1350 share card with copper-plate botanical art overlays — ready for Instagram or X in one tap. The aesthetic owes something to Curtis's Botanical Magazine, built for collectors who care about how things look as well as how they grow. —— OBSERVATION NOTES & MONTHLY HISTORY Log repotting, root conditions, and growth notes inline on each plant's page. See watering frequency by month to understand seasonal rhythms on slow-growing species. —— PREMIUM — ¥480 / YEAR (APPROX. $3.99) Cloud sync across devices is the only paid feature. The plant database, watering reminders, growing character, share cards, and observation notes are all free — permanently. Planta is $7+ per month. Greg is $3+ per month. CaudexCare is $3.99 per year. —— Made for Pachypodium collectors, agave enthusiasts, and anyone who has lost a rare plant to an off-season watering mistake. From Japan. Download free.

What's New in CaudexCare

1.2.3

August 12, 2026

- Fixed the observation note field being hidden behind the keyboard. What you type stays visible. - Added growth records. Keep photos of each plant; once you have two or more, a compare view shows the first and the latest side by side with the time between them. - The care guide now covers 252 species, up from 139. Added Lithops, Conophytum and other mesembs, cacti, and Crassulaceae. Growth type was checked per species, and winter growers now state clearly that water is withheld through summer. - More seasonal tips (216 monthly entries), plus common mistakes and fixes by category. - Care guides for species with English content now display in English. - Added Google sign-in, usable for Premium cross-device sync alongside Apple. Tell us what you need at support@upthemoon.co.jp. This update came out of the reviews you left.
