About

Plant Archive

Features
Read full description

Plant Archive is a private plant collection tracker built for houseplant, succulent, and rare plant collectors. Instead of being another generic watering reminder, Plant Archive helps you document each plant as part of your personal collection. Keep detailed profiles, record purchase prices and estimated values, follow propagation results, compare growth photos, and understand the value of your collection over time. Key features: Plant Profiles Create a detailed record for each plant with species, cultivar, acquisition date, source, location, purchase price, estimated value, status, tags, notes, and photos. Propagation Logs Track cutting, leaf, division, seed, and offset propagation batches. Record total count, rooted count, survival count, failures, notes, and success rate. Growth Photos Save growth photos over time and export a growth video from your saved images. Collection Statistics View total plants, total investment, current estimated value, net gain or loss, lost value, propagation success rate, propagation batch count, and growth photo count. Search and Filters Find plants by name, cultivar, tags, location, status, and value. Sort your collection by acquisition date, name, value, investment, or status. Data Export Export your complete plant collection as CSV or JSON for backup, spreadsheet analysis, or collection asset management. Private by Design Plant Archive does not require an account. Your plant records are stored locally on your device. No advertising SDKs, analytics SDKs, or third-party tracking are included. Plant Archive is designed for collectors who care about more than reminders: rare plants, houseplants, succulents, propagation progress, collection value, and the story of every plant.
