Understanding user challenges
Most plant apps look nice but are actually overwhelming. They throw too much information at you and forget that most people just want simple help keeping their plants alive. I wanted to build something different—an app that feels like a friend, not a textbook.
The Pain Points
Too much text: New plant owners just want to know when to water their plant. Apps give them Wikipedia articles instead.
No reminders: People forget to water. Apps don't nudge them.
Hard to track: You buy a new plant but forget its name or care needs a week later.
One-size-fits-all: Every home has different light and humidity. Apps ignore this.
