PlantCare: When to Prune

Hydrangea & Rose Pruning

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

November is for checking, not hard pruning. Check hydrangeas, roses, small apple trees & shrubs. Get Cut, Keep, or Caution. Free check; one-time Pro, no subscription. Not sure whether to prune now? PlantCare is a private plant care journal focused on outdoor pruning decisions. It helps you check a supported plant before cutting, understand timing and bloom risk, and save one conservative next move. CHECK BEFORE YOU CUT • Choose what you want to do: shape the plant, remove damaged growth, improve airflow, or manage size. • Capture guided whole-plant, leaf, and bark or stem views. • Confirm the closest supported pruning guide before species-specific advice appears. • Review clear Cut, Keep, or Caution guidance based on the plant, season, goal, and safety checks. • Save the decision in My Garden, add follow-up reminders, and compare recovery later. MADE FOR OUTDOOR PRUNING DECISIONS PlantCare focuses on supported roses, hydrangeas, shrubs, hedges, and small ornamental trees under 3 metres. It is designed for questions such as: • Should I prune this hydrangea now, or will I remove next season’s flowers? • Is it the right time to cut back these rose canes? • How far can I trim this shrub without stressing it? • Should this small branch be cut, kept, or inspected first? CONFIRMATION FIRST PlantCare does not pretend to identify every plant or automatically choose where to cut. Low-confidence or unsupported results stop and offer manual guide selection. Possible branch hints remain suggestions until you confirm what you can see. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Guided identification runs on-device from the photos you provide. Scan photos are not sent to a hosted identification service. No PlantCare account is required. Garden records stay local unless you choose native iCloud backup or export. ONE PURCHASE, NO SUBSCRIPTION PlantCare Pro is available as a one-time, non-consumable purchase. Pay once to keep Pro features—there is no recurring subscription charge. SAFETY COMES FIRST PlantCare is a practical guide, not a replacement for your judgment or a qualified arborist. It blocks guidance for ladder work, utility-line work, and plants over 3 metres.
