About this app

“When was the last time I watered this?”
Have you ever let a plant die because of that one question?

Botanical Care is an app that helps you manage watering schedules for each plant and capture photos of their growth.

■ For People Who:
・Always forget when to water their plants
・Have experienced root rot from overwatering in the winter
・You grow plants like agaves or pachypodiums that require different care depending on the season
・You want to keep a record of your plants’ growth that you can look back on later

■ Main Features

【Watering Schedules That Change Monthly】
Many plants require completely different amounts of water in summer and winter. With Botanical Care, you can set specific intervals for each of the 12 months and pause notifications during dormant periods. You can easily set up care routines such as “every other day in summer, no watering in winter.”

【4 Care Templates】
・Caudex & Succulents (Summer Type) — Agave, Pachypodium, Gracilis, etc.
・Caudex & Succulents (Winter Type) — Otonna, Chirecodon, Lithops, etc.
・Houseplants — Monstera, Ficus, Pothos, etc.
・Fruit Trees, Vegetables, and Herbs — Strawberries, tomatoes, basil, etc.
When you enter a plant name, the app estimates the species and automatically suggests watering schedules. Of course, you can adjust these yourself as well.

【Photo Feature That Lets You Take Shots with the Same Composition as Last Time】
The app displays a faint overlay of your previous photo on the camera screen. Since you can take photos from the same angle and distance, you can clearly see the plant’s growth when you line the photos up. It also supports grid lines and adjustments to the opacity of the overlay.

【Growth Time-Lapse】
You can export your saved photos as GIFs or videos. Each frame includes the day number, so you can share them directly on social media. You can also create single-image “Growth Cards.”

【Care Log】
Record watering, liquid fertilizer application, and location checks by marking them as “Completed” or “Skipped.” You can also leave brief notes. On the Journal screen, you can filter and review entries by plant or care type.

【Problem Log】
Record pests, diseases, leaf drop, and damage along with the date. You can trace the cause later.

【AI Support】
・Estimates plant species from photos and automatically fills in care settings
・Suggests causes and solutions based on photos of wilting leaves
・Chat support for growing advice (answers are based on the plants you’ve registered)
*AI features are limited to 10 uses per day.

【Home Screen Widget】
Display today’s care tasks and recent growth photos on your home screen. You can check the status without opening the app.

【Notifications】
Receive a daily care reminder once a day at a specified time. You can toggle notifications on or off for each plant.

【Motivation Features】
Consecutive days recorded (streak) and badges help you make plant care a habit.
