About

Keep a useful record for every nursery plant, and check before you prune. PlantCare helps nursery teams document Rhododendron, Camellia, and Rosa accessions with guided photos, location, field notes, sourced human determinations, and CSV or JSON export. PlantCare Pro adds online multi-photo identification candidates. Gardeners can also check supported plants before pruning, understand timing and bloom risk, and save a conservative next move. CHECK BEFORE YOU CUT • Choose what you want to do: shape the plant, remove damaged growth, improve airflow, or manage size. • Capture guided whole-plant, leaf, and bark or stem views. • Confirm the closest supported pruning guide before species-specific advice appears. • Review clear Cut, Keep, or Caution guidance based on the plant, season, goal, and safety checks. • Save the decision in My Garden, add follow-up reminders, and compare recovery later. MADE FOR OUTDOOR PRUNING DECISIONS PlantCare focuses on supported roses, hydrangeas, shrubs, hedges, and small ornamental trees under 3 metres. It is designed for questions such as: • Should I prune this hydrangea now, or will I remove next season’s flowers? • Is it the right time to cut back these rose canes? • How far can I trim this shrub without stressing it? • Should this small branch be cut, kept, or inspected first? CONFIRMATION FIRST PlantCare does not pretend to identify every plant or automatically choose where to cut. Low-confidence or unsupported results stop and offer manual guide selection. Possible branch hints remain suggestions until you confirm what you can see. NURSERY FIELD RECORDS Use the Nursery workspace for Rhododendron, Camellia, and Rosa accessions. Capture whole-plant, leaf, stem, flower, or fruit photos; add location and field notes; review online species candidates; and record a human determination with its source. Export records as CSV or as JSON with photos. Rhododendron parentage references are provisional; verify cultivar identity and parentage against a primary register before commercial labeling. Online multi-photo identification requires PlantCare Pro and Sign in with Apple. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Manual pruning checks work without an account. PlantCare Pro online identification requires Sign in with Apple and your approval before whole-plant, leaf, and bark photos are sent to our secure service and Pl@ntNet. Garden records stay local unless you choose native iCloud backup or export. ONE PURCHASE, NO SUBSCRIPTION Free checks can keep up to three saved decisions. PlantCare Pro unlocks up to 10 online multi-photo identifications per day and unlimited saved decisions with one non-consumable purchase. No subscription. Online ID depends on service availability. SAFETY COMES FIRST PlantCare is a practical guide, not a replacement for your judgment or a qualified arborist. It blocks guidance for ladder work, utility-line work, and plants over 3 metres.
