Plant Cove

for your little jungle

A cozy home for your houseplants.

Snap a photo and Plant Cove identifies your plant with care information and gives it a spot in your collection. Then it keeps track of watering and care while you can journal its growth, so a growing collection stays a joy instead of a to-do list.

A hobby companion, not a chore list

From the first photo to each new flower or leaf, Plant Cove keeps your collection organized, cared for and lovely to look at.

Add a plant with one photo.

Point your camera at a new arrival and Plant Cove suggests the species, fills in its care and picks an illustration to match. Anything it gets wrong is easy to change.

Identify it from a photo. Plant Cove suggests the species and its common name.

Care details, filled in. Watering rhythm, light needs, pet safety, and detailed care instructions.

An illustration to match. A suggested plant and pot for your collection, swappable anytime.

Better plant photos. Lift the plant off a busy background, or switch to tall plant mode to fit a floor-standing plant in one frame.

mix and match

Make every plant your own.

Give each plant a name with some personality, choose an illustration and pot to match, and organize your plants into rooms or collections that match how you care for it. Remember where you got each plant, whether you bought it or got it as a gift.

Photos or illustrations, your call.

Every plant can appear as its illustration or as your own photo, neatly lifted off its background. Switch between the two anytime, and browse in a gallery or a tidy list, grouped by room or by collection.

It's been 7 days since your last watering. How's the soil?

Care that fits your routine.

Each plant gets a care rhythm based on its species that shifts with the seasons, easing off in winter and picking back up in spring, so reminders arrive when they're actually useful. Log it in a tap, or say the soil's still damp and Plant Cove will check back in a couple of days.

Every plant gets its own story.

Keep track of the moments worth remembering: a first flower, a move to the sunny window, a fresh repot or a cutting that finally took root. Add a quick note or a photo, and look back on how far each plant has come.

And plenty of small comforts

Photos that show the growth

Snap a picture whenever you like. It lands in the plant’s notebook in a Polaroid frame, so you can look back at how far it’s come.

Light and room notes

Remember which window each plant loves, which room it lives in, and when it last moved.

Pruning and propagation

Log trims, cuttings and repots with a stamp. Your plant’s family tree, one jar of water at a time.

A care guide for every plant

Detailed advice for each species, from soil and humidity to repotting, pruning and perking up a struggling plant.

Daylight and Evening

A warm light theme and a warm dark one, for late-night plant admiring.
