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.
