LOCATION CHECK

Optionally record the direction your window faces. The app compares light, indoor climate and the stored requirements of an orchid genus to provide practical guidance for choosing a location. These tips do not replace individual professional assessment.

DEVELOPMENT AND STATISTICS

Record flower spikes, blooms, leaf length and new growth. Charts show development over different periods. You can also see how often you watered and fertilized individual plants or an entire windowsill.

ORCHICOACH — LEARN ABOUT ORCHIDS STEP BY STEP

OrchiCoach includes 51 missions with 259 questions about care, origin and botany. Suitable missions are unlocked for the genera on your windowsill. Earn experience points, follow your learning progress and build knowledge in small, easy-to-understand units.

FINDER, ENCYCLOPEDIA AND FAQ

• 32 orchid genera with concise care profiles
• Information about origin, temperature, light, substrate and dormancy
• “Suitable for my window” filter
• Compare genera and save favorites
• 71 common questions about watering, fertilizing, repotting, propagation, vacations, water quality, buying orchids and more

PESTS AND DISEASES

Learn about typical symptoms and document observations, quarantine status and your own measures. The information is intended as guidance and does not promise a reliable diagnosis or treatment.

SUPPLIES AND SHOPPING

Keep track of substrate, pots and fertilizer you already have. This makes it easier to see what is missing for the next care session or repotting.

PRIVACY AND DATA CONTROL

No account is required. Personal plant data and your own photos are stored locally on your device. Export features help you back up and reuse your data.

FREE TO USE, OPTIONAL PRO

The basic version is free. Orchideenhobby Pro expands the number of plants you can manage and adds extended diary and photo gallery features, development statistics, ratings, exports and additional learning content. Prices and subscription periods are shown in Google Play before purchase.

WHO IS ORCHIDEENHOBBY FOR?

For beginners who want to avoid common care mistakes. For orchid lovers with several plants who need reminders and structure. And for experienced collectors who want to combine development, care records and knowledge in one place.

Orchideenhobby is available in German, English, French, Spanish and Italian. The app is continuously improved.
