ROOTIVO — Plan. Plant. Marvel. The first mixed-cropping and permaculture planner that’s easy to understand, even for balcony gardeners. Whether it’s a raised bed on the patio, a vegetable garden in the backyard, or comprehensive agricultural planning—Rootivo shows you what to grow, when, and where. PERMACULTURE LEXICON WITH OVER 150 PLANTS Vegetables, herbs, berries, fruit, flowers, and green manure — all with intercropping tips, seasonal calendars, site requirements, and care advice. Sowing dates are tailored to specific climate zones for Austria, Germany, and Switzerland. PLAN YOUR GARDEN BEDS • Draw your garden bed in any shape (rectangle, circle, freeform) • Place plants individually, in rows, or along a line • Instant alerts for incompatible plants • Real-time harvest estimates per bed, in ranges (e.g., "2–4 kg") OVERVIEW OF THE ENTIRE GARDEN Plan multiple beds in a garden, including paths, trees, a greenhouse, a pond, and more. True to scale, with a 1-meter grid, pan, and zoom. PHOTO SCAN (Plus) Unknown plant? Take a photo, and Rootivo will identify it. If one of your plants looks unhealthy, the AI detects diseases and pests—with specific tips for organic control. MAGIC WAND - Automatic & Smart Bed Planning (Plus) Choose a theme (soup vegetables, salad mix, bee pasture, Three Sisters…) — Rootivo automatically plans the bed to suit its shape, light, soil, and previous crops. Mixed cropping and crop rotation are built in. 3D VIEW (Plus) View your bed or the entire garden in 3D — with a sun position slider, shadows, compass, and gentle breeze. See how your plan looks in real space before you break ground. AUGMENTED REALITY (Plus) Place a plant directly in your real garden — via the camera, life-size. Helps you accurately estimate spacing and plant height. AUTOMATIC CARE TASKS Pre-cultivation, sowing, watering, fertilizing, mulching, thinning, harvesting — Rootivo reminds you in a timely manner.
