PLANT WATER REMINDERS DONE RIGHT Let’s be honest: an app can't tell you exactly how often to water your plants because there are too many variables. The best way to use an app is to teach it when you water your plants so it can learn the schedule for each plant. All you need to do is mark plants as watered and Ploi does the rest! PLANT JOURNAL If you're looking for a way to keep track of your plant's life and get tips on how to care for them, Ploi is the plant app for you! With Ploi, you can log everything from when you watered your plant to when it started to bloom. Plus, our care guides are full of information on how to keep your plants healthy and happy. GROWTH PROGRESS If you're like most people, you probably have a few houseplants. Maybe you have a fiddle leaf fig tree or a peace lily. Perhaps you have a snake plant or a succulent. No matter what type of plant you have, it's important to document its growth. One way to do this is to take photos of your plant at different stages of its life. For example, you might take a photo of your houseplant when you first get it, and then again after a month, and then every few months after that. Another way to document your plant's growth is to keep a plant journal. In your journal, you can write about how your plant is doing, what changes you've noticed, and how you're caring for it. Documenting your plant's growth is a great way to keep track of its progress and to create a plant log that you can look back on. Plus, it's a fun way to document your plant's journey from a small seedling to a full-grown plant! FREE PLANT IDENTIFICATION If you come across a flower that you can't identify, take a picture of it and upload it to the app. Within seconds, you'll be given the plant's name and species. If you're ever curious about what plant is this, you know what app to use! FREE PLANT CARE GUIDES If you're looking to become a plant parent, Ploi has an ever-growing list of plant care guides that can help. Our guide is crafted specifically for each plant species, so you can learn everything you need to know about taking care of your plant. Ploi also has widgets on iOS, iPadOS, and macOS Terms of Use: https://ploi.me/terms
