Warnings won’t go away

I’ve had the app for a week now and it’s great for tracking all my plants. I also love scrolling through the community tab and seeing other people’s plants as well as questions they have. I’m a totally newbie when it comes to indoor plants, so I haven’t been placing them in the best places. I appreciate that the app warns me when my plant is in a spot not best suited for it, but the problem is the warning won’t go away after I fix the issue. I change the site, both irl and on the app, but the warning still being there is both confusing and annoying. I looked up on google how to fix it, but nothing that was suggested has worked. There’s a true possibility there’s a function already in the app that I’m simply missing, but I would really appreciate it if the warning would go away after I resolve the issue.

Very helpful

This app is very helpful, unlike some other plant apps. Glad I found this one. Easily identified plants, allows edits to correct minute id errors. Only negative, Don’t blindly follow the watering schedule set by the app, continue to check your plants first or you will over water then.

Definitely a top purchase!!

Seriously this app helps so much! I get really overwhelmed keeping my plants alive and this takes away all of the worrying!

Schedule

Not keeping an accurate schedule for some plants. Wants me to water way too often then telling me a plant was sick because it’s still wet.

Fine app

Of the many plant apps, Planta is the most comprehensive one available.

I love this app it lets me know when it’s time to water my plants

Needs improvement

The app is not working properly last few months. It's hasn't been remembering that I checked off completing a task, then shortly after or the next day after day asks for me to complete task!

Wrong identification

Prettiest plants I’ve ever had

This app has helped me manage over 250 plants in my home and they are gorgeous! The trick is monitoring moisture yourself and using the advice given and the pause and skip buttons. You still need to make sure you don’t over water. The app tries to judge when it’s time to water based on the criteria you enter for each plant, but you still need to check the plants before you water, as recommended in the app. Planta never lets me forget to feed a plant. It also prevents me from over feeding. I don’t know what I’d do without it. My plants are so much more beautiful since I started using the app a year ago. There is no comparison. And I love the progress feature. It’s fun to look at the monthly photos of your plants and see how much they’ve grown over a growing season. That’s actually one of my favorite features.

Brown thumb to green thumb

I love plants so much but I had a terrible brown thumb, I killed the hardiest plants just by getting busy and being forgetful. This app really helps me a lot. And helps diagnose issues and has even helped me bring a plant back from the brink of death. Worth every single penny.

Great for organization with a lot of plants!

I love this app, it helps me organize and keep my plants watered right. I’m addicted to plants so I’m constantly getting more so this will definitely come in handy!

Great App….. minor concern

I love this app, as an avid plant nerd with sometimes upwards of 60 plants is incredibly useful and helpful! I loge all the features and its one of the very very few apps that I pay the sub for.

I do have a minor concern that in the last couple of months there has seemed to develop a very bad lag when browsing plants. Like scrolling becomes a mission! Its getting to the point where I am rethinking the sub.

Great app

I just want it to keep track where you are when you are doing your daily updates and complete..you have to scroll all the way back to where you are in updates. It doesn’t save your place.

This App

I came back-and-forth with this place and no matter what this is still number one to me

Just OK - AI needs access to plant updates

The design of the app is decent if a bit clunky. For example, they have you do “plant updates” but then the AI can’t see those updates so you have to repeat information to get a diagnosis. I’d expect the AI to be able to follow along and hold the context of a plant’s lifespan to offer suggestions more automatically.

A+ plant care app

A+ app to become a green thumb!

Doesn’t work

Consistently gets plants wrong. Doesn’t identify issues

Not happy

I am not happy with this app. It does not always work well with identification and diagnosing. I have found a more reliable way. Does not make sense to continue the subscription. Waste of money.

Saved Money in Long Run

We used to buy a new plant once a month, since buying Planta, I’ve been able to keep my plants alive and they have thrived. Sometimes it feels like a lot of work, but it’s worth it to keep your plants alive.

Originally great

This app originally worked wonderfully. Since the last update, it has not been alternating the water and water with fertilizer options resulting in the app suggesting I water my plants multiple times a week. Every plant person knows that over watering will lead to root rot. I have to many plants to be checking if they need to be watered multiple times a week. I reached out to Planta support to make them aware of this problem, even providing screenshots, and just got someone who kept checking my log and telling me what the app was all ready telling me and was completely unhelpful. I gave up trying to explain to them what the problem was and just cancelled my premium subscription. I’ll be looking into different ones.
