A calmer way to care for plants
Your plants, happily looked after.
Snap a photo and meet your plant. Get a care rhythm that follows your home, your seasons, even your local weather. Then let gentle nudges do the remembering, so you can simply enjoy the green.
Made for beginners, loved by collectors.
Easy from the first minute
Three small steps. That's it.
No spreadsheets, no plant degree. Plant Buddha does the thinking and asks only for a little of your attention.
Snap a photo
Point your camera at any plant. Plant Buddha tells you what it is and sets up a care plan that suits it.
Pick its spot
Choose a room, a light level and a pot. Your plant gets a name and a place in your home.
Follow the nudges
Your home screen shows what needs love today. Tap the little drop, and you're done.
Know your plant
Who's that in the corner?
Take a picture and Plant Buddha names it, explains what it likes, and fills in a care plan. Found something unusual? It can write a plan for plants far beyond the usual favorites.
- Identify from a single photo
- Care plans for common and uncommon species
- Pet-safety notes, clearly marked as an estimate to double-check

A rhythm that listens
Water when your plant needs it, not when a calendar says so.
Plants drink less when days grow short and more in a heat wave. Share your approximate location once and Plant Buddha adjusts for your local seasons and weather. Nudge it with "Not yet" and it quietly learns how you water.
- Seasons and weather built into every schedule
- Gentle reminders, one per task or one calm daily summary
- A Today widget with a water button right on your Home Screen
Ask anything
A friendly guide for the "wait, what's happening?" moments.
A leaf is curling. There are little spots. Is that normal? Snap a photo of the leaf for a gentle diagnosis, or just ask about a plant and get an answer that knows its schedule and recent care.
- Diagnose a leaf from a photo
- Chat about any plant in your collection
- A health history that keeps each diagnosis for next time
Everything in one calm place
All the little things, handled.
Watering is just the start. Plant Buddha keeps every kind of care in one gentle rhythm.
Watering
Per-plant schedules that flex with season and weather, with a "Not yet" button for when the soil says wait.
Feeding
A "Time to feed" card appears in the growing season and rests in winter. No more guessing.
Rotate, wipe, mist, prune
Small care tasks with their own rhythm per plant. Add your own for anything unique to yours.
Repotting
Know when a plant has outgrown its home, seasonally timed so it lands at the right moment.
Rooms
Organise by room, filter at a glance, and search or sort your whole collection.
Pet-safe filter
Quickly see which plants are friendly for furry family members, and check the details for peace of mind.
Away mode and sitter guide
Going on holiday? Create a printable guide for your plant sitter, with photos and your notes. Reminders wait for your return.
Home Screen widget
See what's thirsty and tap to water without even opening the app.
Backup you can trust
Back up and restore your plants any time. iCloud sync is on the way.
Simple and honest
The basics are free. The AI helper is Plus.
Your plants, watering schedules, reminders and care tasks are free, always. Plant Buddha Plus adds the AI helper that identifies plants, checks leaves and answers your questions. It costs real money to run, so Plus is $0.99 a month or $9.99 a year, with a one-week free trial. No ads, no tricks.
How we handle your photos
Photos and plant details are sent to our AI only when you ask for help, such as identifying a plant, diagnosing a leaf or chatting. The app asks for your permission before the first one, and you can change your mind any time in Settings.
Your location is rounded to about 10 km, which is plenty for weather.
Come grow with us.
Plant Buddha is coming soon to the App Store for iPhone. In the meantime, the journal is full of friendly plant-care basics.
