Now supports iPhone Duo. Orchids, each with its own guide. Tell us which one you have — Moth orchid, Dendrobium, Oncidium, Cymbidium, Slipper orchid or Jewel orchid — and get its guide: how to water it, where to put it, how to get it to bloom again, and what to do when something’s off. Pick its flower color and that’s how it appears on your windowsill. And when cooler days arrive — the cue for a new spike — we’ll let you know. Plants that live in water. When you add a plant, tell us whether it lives in soil or in water. Water plants live in their jar, on the windowsill and in the widgets, and instead of asking for water they remind you when it’s time to change it. New species. Say hello to the tank bromeliads — Guzmania, Aechmea and Vriesea — the rose-painted calathea and the mini monstera. And we’ve fixed bugs in the plant search. And more. A new welcome for anyone just starting out. The icon, in glass and tinted, to match your Home Screen. Each plant counts just one watering a day. Care tips no longer cut off long text. Text reads better in Japanese, Korean and Chinese. And lots of small fixes.

Today, in your window’s light. Your plants now sit on a wooden windowsill, under the light from your window: sun, cloud, rain or snow, as it is outside, from dawn to night. They sway, and the thirsty ones droop until you water them. The day, in cards. Below the sill, today comes in cards. Slide to water, flip a card to see why today, and tick off fresh water for a cutting or a damp moss pole. Anniversaries and milestones turn up too, ready to save as an image. Every plant, redrawn. Every species has a new hand-drawn look, and they all move: touch one and it answers. Cuttings wait in their glass of water, their plug of soil or their bag of moss, rooting a little more each day. Two new widgets. The Sill brings your windowsill to the Home Screen, in the light of the hour, the thirsty plants drooping. Today’s Round gives each plant due today its own card, and the ones you’ve watered stand up again. Both keep their color, and keep moving, on Clear and Tinted Home Screens. To add one, touch and hold your Home Screen, tap Edit, then Add Widget, and search for Plantempo. And more. A plant’s portrait now also lives in its gallery, and choosing a new one no longer deletes the old photo. Picking a species from search closes the keyboard. And everything runs smoother.

Watering, in your climate. Every day is now measured against what's normal where you live. In humid places, a five-day plant's reminder no longer arrives on day eight: the rhythm you set is the rhythm it gets. What each plant had learned recalculates on its own. And more. If iCloud turns something down, everything else keeps uploading instead of waiting. And the app runs lighter, with a few other small fixes.

Before and now. Compare two photos. Pick any two moments from a plant's journal — the day it arrived, fresh soil, a year ago — and see them side by side, or one over the other with a slider. Save the comparison as a single image, with its name and the time between them, ready to share. Take them with you. Any photo in a plant's gallery can now leave the app: save it to Photos or Files, or share it, from the full-screen view. Recently deleted. A plant or a journal entry you delete isn't gone at once. It stays 30 days in Settings › Manage your data › Recently deleted, photos and all, in case you change your mind. If iCloud says no. Should iCloud ever refuse to save a plant, Settings tells you which one and since when, instead of keeping quiet. Until it's in iCloud, don't delete the app. Fixes. Answering "Almost dry" no longer leaves today's reminder ringing. And what I write in the journal myself, like a welcome or a plant given away, can no longer be deleted by mistake.

Plantempo meets iOS 27. Not sure which one it is? Take a photo of the plant as you add it and I'll tell you what I think it is, with its watering rhythm already set. If I'm unsure, I'll offer a second one. You have the last word, and the photo stays on as its portrait. This happens in here: the photo never leaves your phone. Ask Siri. "Hey Siri, water the monstera in Plantempo", and it's noted in the journal without opening the app. Ask what needs watering today, or find a plant by its name, its species or where it lives — from Siri, Shortcuts or your phone's search screen. In short. Each plant's journal, told in one go: a paragraph about what it's been through, written by your own phone from your notes. When new things happen, you bring it up to date. Both run on Apple Intelligence, inside your iPhone. Moss poles, at last in the garden. Mark the plant that has one and I'll remind you to dampen it. It rides inside the day's watering reminder, on the same line, never a separate one: the garden speaks once and that's it. Not sure whether it's time? Squeeze the moss and tell me how it feels, from dry to soaked. The soil, first. Before I call a plant watered, I'll ask you to touch the soil: that's how I learn its real rhythm. The rhythm, on several at once. To change how often they're watered, you no longer have to go in plant by plant. And several fixes.

Your garden, now on iPad too. The app lays itself out for the screen it's on. The garden is searchable now: search and filters, to find a plant without going through the whole thing. And several fixes.

The whole life of a plant. Cuttings now have a place on the windowsill: each in its own vessel, in water or moss, until they root and move into a pot. And when a plant leaves the garden — you give it away, or it goes back to the soil — its journal and its photos stay. Adding a plant is four questions and a plate to hang, and every species tells you how to care for it and how to make more of it. And underneath, a long sweep: less waiting when you add plants, and several tallies that now add up.

A garden with a window. Your plants now sit on a sunlit windowsill, arranged by the day each one arrived — a small room that changes with the sky. Editing a plant and its photos is quicker and steadier. Plantempo also speaks Traditional Chinese now. And everywhere else: faster, calmer, more polished.

More plants to meet. The catalog has grown. Next time you add a plant, there are more names waiting for you to find.
