A little everyday support
More ways to help your garden thrive.
Diagnosis that knows your plant
Causes come back ranked using your plant's own record — when you watered, recent heat and rain, its species — not generic guesses.
Where to prune
Photograph the plant and get likely cut areas marked on your photo, over pruning rules sourced from university extension services — with the right season window for your hemisphere.
Frost, heat and quarantine alerts
The night before a frost or heat spike, a notification names which plants to bring in or shade. Citrus in an HLB quarantine ZIP gets flagged too.
Watering, reminders and a Today view
Each plant gets a forecast-adjusted watering rhythm, smart re-check reminders, and one Today card saying what actually needs doing.
Prefer to read first? The pruning guides are free on this site — sourced from university extension services, no app needed.
