Bonsai now works on Apple Watch: see which trees need care today and log it with one tap. Plus Time Machine — see how a tree has changed over the years.
Every bonsai is a years-long project. Bonsai keeps the whole story — photos, care and growth — in one place, now on your iPhone, Apple Watch and Home Screen.
NEW IN THIS VERSION
• Apple Watch: see which trees need water, feeding or pruning today, and log it with one tap.
• Home Screen widgets: a tree from your collection, its first and latest photos side by side, or your whole bonsai garden.
• Time Machine: a tree's first photo next to its latest — years of change at a glance.
• Made for iPhone Duo: unfold it and a tree's details and growth log sit side by side.
A GROWTH LOG FOR EVERY TREE
Every bonsai gets its own page: species, style, pot size, soil, and the number of days since you started it. Snap a photo when something changes — new growth, back-budding, a branch that finally held after wiring — and add a line in your own words. Records are grouped by day, and you can play back a tree's growth from year one.
CARE THAT FITS BONSAI
Log watering, feeding, pruning, wiring, defoliating and repotting in one tap. Care reminders on your Home screen and Apple Watch show how many trees need a photo, water, feeding or pruning — set your own intervals, because bonsai never waters on a fixed schedule. Batch care lets you log a whole bench at once.
TRENDS
Monthly care, streaks, and a calendar of everything you did.
SPECIES AND STYLES
Juniper, ficus, jade, pine, elm, azalea, Japanese maple — tag each tree by species, style and stage. Mini bonsai (shohin and mame), indoor tropicals, outdoor temperate trees, all in one collection, grouped by shelf.

This app feels like an extension of the bonsai philosophy itself—quiet, beautifully designed, and completely native to iOS. The scrolling is buttery smooth.

Ella Murphic
If you’re tired of generic plant apps treating your 10-year-old juniper like a common pothos, download this immediately. Bonsai isn't about rigid 7-day watering schedules; it's about the long game. This app is the perfect visual growth timeline. I love how easily I can track my wiring, repotting, and ramification cycles without filling out tedious spreadsheets. The collage export feature is brilliant—perfect for sharing progress updates on Reddit. It’s quiet, beautiful, and respects the art.
Developer Response
Thank you for recognizing what makes our app different! We built this because we know bonsai care is a long game, not just a rigid watering schedule. We wanted to create a dedicated bonsai tracker that seamlessly documents wiring, repotting, and pruning over years. So glad you're loving the visual growth timeline and the collage export feature for sharing your progress! More pro features are on the way.
Love the collage feature! Perfect for sharing progress.

Every time I post my trees on Reddit r/Bonsai or Instagram, people ask about the progression history. This bonsai photo journal makes it effortless to show them. The one-tap long image and collage export is a game-changer. I can instantly combine years of deadwood weathering and branch ramification into a single, gorgeous image. It turns your hard work into a slow-motion art film. If you love showing off your trees, you need this.
Developer Response
Thank you so much for the amazing support! We are thrilled that our bonsai photo journal and collage feature make it effortless for you to share your bonsai tree care journey on Reddit and Instagram. Tracking the progression history and showcasing branch ramification is exactly why we built this plant tracker. Stay tuned for more features to help with your bonsai care and growth!
A priceless visual history of my trees.
Olivia Martinez Thompson
I manage over 20 trees (mostly azalea and pine bonsai), and keeping track of their progression used to be a mess of iPhone photo albums. This bonsai care log changed everything. Every tree gets its own profile, and watching the deadwood weather or the branch ramification develop over pruning cycles feels like watching a slow-motion film. It’s more than a tracker; it’s a beautiful diary for your passion. Absolutely flawless execution.
Developer Response
Thank you so much for the review! We designed this bonsai care log specifically to help enthusiasts track branch ramification and deadwood weather over time. Knowing that it serves as a beautiful visual history and diary for your 20+ trees (especially your azalea and pine bonsai!) makes all the hard work worth it. We’ll keep improving this bonsai tracker to ensure your personal plant profiles remain flawless. Happy growing!
