Your plants, finally answered.
Ivy is a calm AI companion for people with more plants than they can keep in their head. It knows every plant, every room and this week's weather, so the day's care fits on one list and anything you wonder gets a real answer.

This morning
- Monstera, hall
- rain tomorrow, so watering moves to Thursday.
- Calathea orbifolia, bedroom
- water today, filtered. She minds the tap.
- Pilea, balcony
- skipped. Yesterday's rain covered it.
- Boston fern, bathroom
- a light mist. The room is already humid.
One list in the morning. Done by the second coffee.
Every plant has its own rhythm: water, fertilize, mist, rotate, prune, repot, and for the hydro vessels their refills and flushes. Ivy folds all of it into a single list for today, in the order you walk through the flat. Tap done, snooze a day, or skip with a reason. Fertilizing logs the watering too, because liquid feed is water.
- Tasks follow the plant, not the app: water, fertilize, mist, rotate, prune and repot, plus refill, flush, top up and nutrients for hydro.
- Snooze to any date. Skip moves the task along without counting as done.
- Subscribe your calendar. The day's tasks appear in Apple or Google Calendar at the time you choose.
Built for a collection, not a windowsill.
- Add thirty plants in one go.
- Photograph each one. Ivy identifies the species, reads the pot size, drainage, soil and health from the photo, and writes a care schedule you can adjust before saving.
- Import from a spreadsheet.
- Upload a CSV, map the columns, review, done.
- Rooms that mean something.
- Each room has its orientation, window size and light. A balcony room gets the rain and the heat; the bedroom does not.
- Bulk changes in plain language.
- "Move everything on the shelf to the bedroom" or "mark the hall as watered" becomes a preview of exactly which plants it touches. You confirm; then it happens.
- A desktop that is a dashboard.
- Phone for the daily walk, desktop for the overview: charts, history, the whole collection side by side.
- No cap on plants. Ever.
- Eighty is where Ivy started.
Ask anything. The answer is about your plants.
Ivy keeps every plant you have added, your rooms, your water profile and what you tried last time, so an answer is never a generic care sheet. Ask with text, voice or a photo.
-
You: My calathea has crispy edges. What's going on?
-
Ivy: Crispy edges on calatheas usually mean the tap water: they mind chlorine and calcium. Your water profile says hard tap water, so switch her to filtered or rainwater for a few weeks. Two more of yours are sensitive the same way: Maranta leuconeura and Stromanthe triostar.
-
You: Mark everything in the hall as watered.
-
Ivy: Water logged for 6 plants in Hall. Confirm?
Confirm Cancel
- Text, voice or photo.
- Bulk actions with a preview.
- A thread per plant, or one for the whole collection.
A schedule with reasons, not a timer.
The starting interval comes from the species. Then Ivy weighs the pot and its drainage, the soil, the room's light and temperature, and the season, and keeps the result inside what the species tolerates. Every morning it reads the local forecast: balcony plants skip after rain and come forward in heat. And it learns from you. When you water on time, the gaps you keep become the schedule.

Walk the room with the camera. Ivy reads the leaves.
Photograph your plants in a batch. Ivy looks at each one, reports what it sees, and offers the next step: prune, fertilize, repot. Accept, and it lands on today's list. For a single plant in trouble, a diagnosis uses its history too.
Repotting
When a plant is due for a bigger pot, Ivy works out the soil mix from what is in your inventory (perlite, potting mix, coco coir) and the pot size to move to.
Away and outdoors
Hand off the watering can.
Tell Ivy when you leave. It prepares a plan per plant, flags the ones that need real attention, suggests self-watering setups where they help, and gives you one link for the friend who drops by. No account, no app on their side: they open the link, tick what they did, and Ivy logs it.
Take Ivy on a walk.
Snap what you spot: a lavender in a front garden, a wild herb on a hike, a houseplant you cannot name at a friend's. Ivy identifies it, keeps the location, and builds a discovery log you can share. Radar suggests species worth looking for next.

Every plant keeps its story.
Photos, repottings, health reports, the rough patch in February. Look back a year later and see how far they have come. Insights show what needs attention now, what the history says, and where your care is drifting.
