Pothy gives houseplants a family tree
Pothy is a planned free plant-care app combining photo identification and soil-check reminders with propagation records and nearby plant swaps.
- For
- Houseplant owners who propagate or share plants
- Worth noticing
- Its watering guidance asks users to check the top three centimetres of soil, and says it waits rather than issuing a fixed “water now” alert.
Field notes
The page lays out six steps, from identifying a plant to finding a new home for an unwanted one. It says watering guidance uses a soil check, offers quiet hours and plant-by-plant vacation pauses, and keeps an “Today” screen usable without notifications. For local exchanges, it describes an approximate location of about five kilometres, blocking and reporting controls, and messaging that avoids sharing a phone number. These are described features of an app the page says is still forthcoming.
