This is the companion app for the easyplant Sensor - a small physical device you place in your plant's soil (sold separately at easyplant.com). Together, they give your plants a voice, so you always know exactly how to care for them. Requires an easyplant Sensor. Don't have one yet? Grab one at easyplant.com — then come back and pair it here. Most plants don't die from neglect. They die from guessing. Overwatering, underwatering, wrong light — the Sensor solves two of the most common plant care issues, watering and light, and the app puts all that information in one place, no matter how many plants you own. HOW IT WORKS - Place your Sensor in the soil and turn it on - Pair it to the app by holding the button - Identify the specific plant by taking a photo - The Sensor continuously reads soil moisture and light levels - You get instant feedback when it’s time to water or if the plant is not getting enough light WHAT THE APP DOES - Connects to one or more easyplant Sensors - Sends push notifications when a plant needs water - Identifies your plant from a photo and tailors care tips to it - Shows moisture & light history graphs over time, for every plant - Keeps all your plants and Sensors organized in one dashboard ADDITIONAL INFORMATION - Elegant, low-profile design that fits into the pot, not on top of it - Instant feedback with no app needed — tap the Sensor itself for a color readout: green (all good), blue (needs water) - Water-resistant, designed to stay in the soil - Best for indoor plants in 6"–12" pots BUILT ON REAL PLANT EXPERTISE easyplant has been helping people keep plants alive for years.
