SOCIAL INTERACTION

Plantr allows your plants to talk to you and each other. Imagine that you buy a new plant. Your other plants say hi and welcome the new plant.

Your plants can express happiness, sadness, and other emotions!

REMINDERS

Plants will send you messages via Plantr when they need care.

When your new plant needs to be fertilized, it sends you a message telling you that it's hungry. When you fertilize your plant, it sends you a thank-you message.

SOMETHING IS WRONG

Plantr can help you take care of plants even when something goes horribly wrong.

Imagine that one of your plants has brown spots on its leaves. You check its water supply, pH, temperature, and light exposure, but nothing appears to be wrong. You can use Plantr to diagnose the problem and figure out a solution or contact a nearby nursery store for more help.
