If you 💚 indoor plants
Their precious lives are in your hands. When they’re thirsty, they rely on you to water them and when you tend to them, they reveal all their beauty to you. We’re talking about indoor plants, of course, and the wonderful colour and life they bring to your home.
No matter their size or type, care for your plant community with the help of these green-fingered apps.
Get some inspiration
A small cactus or a terrarium, maybe a fiddle-leaf fig: there are plenty of options when selecting a plant that fits your space. If you can’t make up your mind, take a peek into other people’s rooms (virtually, that is). Searching on social media for content posted by like-minded plant lovers is a great way to get inspired and discover what fits your style and needs.
The right equipment
You’ve decided on a plant, now it’s time to literally get your hands dirty and shop for seeds, soil and fertiliser. If you’re uncertain what your seedling needs on top of that, do some research before you check what your preferred seller can provide. You’ll find plenty of details in PictureThis or PlantSnap, two apps that will quickly boost your plant knowledge.
Light and water are key
For the less intuitive tasks in plant care, apps are really useful. They tell you when to water your sprout or move the pot to the window or balcony for fresh air and sunlight. This way, your greens will always get the right amount of resources they need to grow strong. Should you own gardening gadgets, consider automating your tasks with IFTTT to make the most out of your daily nurturing.
Grow old together
Every day both you and your plant grow older. Whether you need to trim its branches or move it to a bigger pot when it’s outgrown its home, each little step of your journey together makes for a great memory. Start snapping a daily picture to create a time-lapse video that will show off your greenery’s gradual growth.
