Greg - Plant Care 4+

Finally keeping my plants alive

I have always been the bringer of death to every plant I have brought home. From cactus to snake plants to outdoor gardens, everything ended up the same way. I was ready to give up and stick to plastic plants and flowers, but then I found Greg! I now have a small thriving collection of beautiful house plants and even a thriving elderberry bush I love! The app itself is wonderful at helping remind me on watering and fertilising schedules (although it’s important to remember it’s a suggestion and you still have you use judgement on if the plant needs watering or to wait) it helped teach me the basics on lighting and how I was incorrectly placing so many plants in wrong areas for so long. Greg is helpful with providing advice on different aspects of plants I own which has been really great. But my favorite part of Greg is the AMAZING community! I can’t tell you how truly fantastic the people are! They have helped me through every plant crisis and every little question I have had. I can not recommend Greg enough!!!

Super handy for more than just a watering schedule

I love the social aspect of the app, and the little tidbits of information on the home page.

This app will totally help you water more regularly, but also it just helps keep track what type of plants you own. I often forget the official names of my plants and having this information so readily on hand makes researching fertilization needs, when to repot, pest treatments etc etc way easier. It also helped me identify a few plants that I had 0 idea what kind of plant I owned.

For edits I’d love to see: I want to be able to keep more information about my plants. Which plants share containers, whether my plants are in a closed/semi closed terrarium or in water. The social and cataloging aspect of the apps has made it fun to add plants that I don’t need a water schedule but I also feel bad that those plants could affect their algorithm. I also want to add more scecific descriptions about my plants updates “turning greener” “my current goal for this plant” “testing out this propagation methods.” “This method kicked my fungus Gnar problem” I love to see what other people are thinking about their plants, and I want to share what works for me.

Simple, Pretty, Adless, and Helpful

I’ve only had this app for a couple days but I’m a huge fan so far. I decided to invest in the $30 lifetime option because honestly I’ve spent way more on my plants and I’ve got a gift card that brought it down to $5. I love cataloguing and seeing how my plants compare to others. The AI is pretty impressive especially in identifying most plants simply from photos. It seems like the beginning of a great app to integrate into my life, but I definitely see room for growth (no pun intended.) I think there should be ways to update your experiences with a plant in a social way. Instead of just seeing people having watered their plants on my feed I’d love to see propagations, fertilizing, repotting, pest control, and even plant deaths. I think this would make the app loads more interesting and fun. I’d also love a commenting feature or an advice feature where fellow plant folk can respond to inquiries for help. TLDR: Definitely worth it for someone passionate about plants so long as updates are on the way.
