Welcome a plant
Add its name, species, room and check-in rhythm. It becomes part of your Gardenfolk collection.
A houseplant care companion
Your plants, gathered together.
Gardenfolk gives every real houseplant you own a place in your Herbarium, a life in the Garden and a practical record of the care you give it.
Gardenfolk is preparing for release on iPhone. An Android version is also in development.

Real plants, not virtual ones
Every houseplant becomes a Gardenfolk resident.
Gardenfolk is built around the plants you actually own. Add a real houseplant once, then revisit it when you want to check how it is doing, record care or look something up.
Check in, then care
Gardenfolk reminds you to look at the plant first. Record that it is fine or that you watered it, and keep a simple care history.
Revisit when you need to
Browse your Herbarium, visit the Garden or ask the AI Botanist for source-backed guidance about a resident.
Your Herbarium
Your collection has a book of its own.
The Herbarium is the main place to browse your plants and return to their care. Every resident keeps its place in one coherent botanical collection.
Book
Open one resident at a time with its care information close by.
Folio
Browse several residents together when you want a wider view.
Index
Search the collection quickly without changing its book order.
The Garden
See everyone living together.
Switch to the Garden when you want a quieter, more atmospheric view of your collection. Each real plant appears as a recognisable resident occupying its own little place in the hidden garden.
- Residents stay recognisable as their real species.
- Character comes through shape, posture and presentation, not cartoon faces.
- The Garden remains connected to real care information.
- Larger collections are divided into calm, manageable garden pages.
Meet the residents
Your plants still look like your plants.
Gardenfolk gives each species character through its natural silhouette, posture and presentation while keeping it botanically recognisable.
Check in, then care
A reminder to look, not an order to water.
Gardenfolk uses check-in reminders rather than pretending every plant follows a rigid watering calendar. When a reminder arrives, look at the plant and decide what it actually needs.
Record a check-in
Mark a resident as fine when no care is needed.
Record watering separately
Gardenfolk remembers both the last check and the last watering.
Keep a useful rhythm
The next check moves forward without turning a reminder
into a watering instruction.
AI Botanist
Guidance for the plant in front of you.
When you want another opinion, ask the AI Botanist about a Gardenfolk resident. Guidance is species-specific, clearly identified as AI-generated and backed by a cited horticultural source.
Suggested check-in rhythm
Get a practical interval you can choose to apply to the resident.
Practical watering guidance
Advice can explain how to water that species, not just when.
Source-backed
Each result shows the horticultural source behind the guidance.
AI Botanist guidance is optional. Gardenfolk’s Herbarium, Garden, care history and check-in features continue to work without it.
Useful plant care
Observe the plant in front of you.
Gardenfolk helps you remember when to check in and keeps the history organised. Good plant care still depends on the actual conditions around each plant.
Check before watering
Watering needs change with season, light, temperature, pot size and growing medium. A reminder should prompt an observation, not automatic watering.
Pay attention to light
If a plant is struggling, consider whether its position provides appropriate light before assuming that more water is the answer.
Watch for change
Drooping, yellowing, damaged leaves and changing growth patterns are useful signals. Look at them alongside recent changes in watering, light, temperature and pests.
Gardenfolk and the AI Botanist provide general plant-care guidance. Species needs and home conditions vary, so use that guidance alongside direct observation of your plant.
