Track every care action, stay organized across multiple spaces, and never wonder "did I water this?" again. Use Potally alone or share it with others. Your choice. The Problem We Solve For Solo Plant Parents: - Forgot when you last watered? Was it 3 days or 6? - Can't remember if you fertilized this month - Too many plants to track mentally - No record when things go wrong For Multiple People Sharing Care: - Double-watering because no one knows who already did it - Plants neglected because everyone assumes someone else watered - No record of who did what, when - Plants die from confusion Potally fixes both. What Potally Does - Track Every Care Action: Water, fertilize, prune, mist, rotate, repot, medicate, clean, track any action. Each gets its own schedule and status. - Solo or Shared Spaces: Organize plants by location (home, office, garden, building).
