Sprout
evergreen

Most plant apps ask how often you want reminding. This one works it out.

Care schedules built from real species data, the pot it is actually in, how bright the room actually is, and the weather where you actually live.

Draw your home

It knows which of your rooms is bright, because you showed it.

Trace your floor plan once. Mark where the windows are, point north, and Sprout works out how much light each room gets and which way it faces — then places every room on the same five-rung scale it matches species against.

Light crosses one doorway and no further, one step dimmer. A plant two rooms from a window is not in a bright room, and Sprout will not pretend it is.

Your plan, shaded by light
One reminder a day, at most

Every morning

A list that is short because it is right.

A Monstera in a 24cm terracotta pot by a north window is not on the same cycle as one in plastic in a dim corner. Sprout adjusts for pot size and material, drainage, room light, window aspect and season — so the list you get is the list that is actually due.

Set a location and it reads the forecast too. Before a hot dry spell it offers to bring watering forward; before a wet week it offers to hold off. You approve every change.

What a reminder actually says

When something looks wrong

A clinic, not a search box.

26

Symptoms

Yellow leaves, brown tips, sudden drop, fungus gnats. Start from what you can see.

42

Clues

Answer what else is true and the ranking shifts. A supporting clue lifts a cause; a contradicting one pushes it down.

40

Causes

Weighted by what your particular species is prone to — a fern with crispy edges is a different problem from a cactus with crispy edges.

Worth keeping

A record of the plant, not just a reminder to water it.

Every plant gets a diary and a growth chart. Photos, measurements, milestones, repottings, problems. Watch a cutting become a plant.

Toxicity is rated separately for cats, dogs and humans, because the same plant is not equally risky to each. Tell Sprout what lives with you and it flags what matters.

48 species, with real care data

The part most apps skip

No account. No ads. Nothing to sign up for.

Your plants, photos, diary and schedule live on your phone and are never uploaded. There is no server, no analytics and no profile of you anywhere.

One thing leaves, and it is worth saying plainly rather than rounding up to "everything is local": if you set a location, its coordinates go to the weather service to fetch your forecast. They are rounded to about a kilometre first, so what travels is a neighbourhood rather than an address. Nothing accompanies them and nothing else is ever sent.
