FEATURES
SNAP A PHOTO. PLANT ADDED.
Point your camera and Fernie identifies the species from 10,000+ plants. Pot type, pot size, soil, and lighting can be automatically detected—so your plant is fully set up in seconds.
WATERING REMINDERS THAT MAKE SENSE
Fernie creates a specialized care schedule based on your plant’s species, environment, and local temperature. You get a reminder when your plant may actually need water—not simply because another week has passed.
FERTILIZING THAT FOLLOWS THE SEASONS
Fernie tracks growing seasons based on your hemisphere and plant species. It reminds you to fertilize while your plants are actively growing and stays quiet during dormancy.
SNOOZE WHEN THE SOIL IS STILL MOIST
Not ready to water? Swipe left to snooze the reminder. Fernie makes it easy to adjust your schedule instead of blindly following it.
