I was given this as a gift and it feels more like a curse and a half baked idea. It’s like buying a car and being charged a monthly fee to turn on the air conditioner. ### 5/5 — ★★★★★ Game changer for plant care *2026-02-20* Grow has completely changed the way I care for my plants in the best way. Before this, I was guessing: “Does this one need water?” “Is it getting enough light?” “Why is it suddenly droopy?” Now I know. Having clear, real-time feedback takes the mystery out of plant care and makes it so much easier to keep plants consistently healthy. What I love most is how it helps me prevent problems instead of reacting to them after the fact. It’s like having a calm, reliable plant buddy that keeps me on track especially with fussier plants or when I’m busy and days blur together. Since using it, my watering routine is more accurate, my plants look better, Grow better and I feel way more confident. If you’re a plant lover who’s tired of guessing or you’ve lost a few plants to overwatering, under watering, Grow Plant Monitor is absolutely worth it. Truly a game changer. ### 5/5 — Friendly *2026-01-09* Great app. Friendly. Accurate. Easy to find plans by name. ### 5/5 — Great gadget *2025-05-10, version 2.19.8* Really impressed with this little gadget, I have over 30 plants and looking after some of them has been proven challenging until now, I now know exactly what my plant needs ### 5/5 — Love it *2025-04-23, version 2.19.8* I love this plant monitor and app. I got it because a plant of mine was not thriving and I could not figure out why. Turns out I was giving it way too much much light with the grow light. I had a little trouble with the app when I was first pairing the device but I just kept trying and it paired after a few try’s. ### 5/5 — Helpful *2025-04-19, version 2.19.8* This app is great and helpful for keeping my favorite plants happy. ### 5/5 — Great idea *2025-03-11, version 2.19.6* I’ve just bought two to help me understand two plants that are struggling. I’ve had trouble figuring out how to pair one, bit the one that I’ve managed to pair is working great. ### 5/5 — Quality app and monitors *2025-03-07, version 2.19.6* I trialed about 5 or 6 apps to help me keep my plants healthy and Grow has by far been the best one. Many of the others lacked some of my plants in their database, which made them useless, and the plant monitors were really basic. By comparison, grow has an extensive range of plants, the automatic plant match from photo is spot on, the monitors seem to be great quality and it is giving me a simple but thorough breakdown of what my plants need. One thing I wish it had was a ph tester and perhaps some mechanism to tell you when to fertilise ### 5/5 — The best plant care app *2025-02-27, version 2.19.5* Constantly improving! This app + the plant monitor has been game changing for my plants growth! ### 5/5 — Works Great *2024-12-30* We have been able to keep all of our plants alive since buying these which is saying a lot ## Frequently asked questions about Grow ### What kind of metrics does Grow track with its sensors?
