Botanical Legacy: Plant Care
PROTEKA S.R.L.
Plant care: watering reminders forecast per plant, plus photo ID and diagnosis.
Your plants, forecast nightly.
Botanical Legacy is plant care for houseplants and outdoor plants: watering reminders set by each plant's own soil, plant identification and pest and disease diagnosis from a photo, and a care schedule that re-forecasts every night.
Most plant care apps set a schedule on the day you sign up, then fire the same watering reminder whether the soil is dry or not. Botanical Legacy models each plant instead. Every specimen carries a Digital Shadow that tracks the soil between waterings, so the date it gives you is the day that plant will be thirsty.
A Digital Shadow for every specimen
Each plant carries a model of its own soil: pot volume, substrate, light, and the dry-down rate measured between its last two waterings. The next watering date is the day moisture is projected to cross the line, recomputed every night rather than counted off a calendar.
Identify a plant, then diagnose it, from one photo
Photograph a new plant and Botanical Vision v5 identifies the species and writes its care profile. The Doctor reads the same kind of photograph for disease, pests, light stress and growth stage, with the findings boxed on the image itself. It holds the previous frame beside the new one, so the verdict is a trend rather than a snapshot.
Toggle a what-if, watch the Shadow re-project
Water, mist, feed, or move a plant somewhere brighter, over 7, 14 or 30 days. The vitality curve, the moisture curve and the dated timeline of what happens next all recompute on the device, against that specimen's own telemetry, with the do-nothing curve drawn beside it.
A real reading beats the forecast
Bind any soil-moisture, temperature, humidity or conductivity sensor Home Assistant can see to one specimen or a whole room. A fresh reading overrides the model estimate, a moisture spike logs the watering by itself, and a rising salt trend warns before the burn.
Care that knows what month it is
Dormancy halves the dry-down and holds feeding until the season resumes, hemisphere-aware, from your location. Frost and heatwave alerts read the forecast against each plant's tolerated band, and 5 mm of rain credits an outdoor plant its watering.
One morning read, and the shortest list that matters
The Sanctuary Brief opens with two numbers: specimens thriving, and specimens needing attention. Overdue, due today and this week sit in groups, one tap logs the care, and the schedule re-derives the moment you do. Dormant plants rest in a quiet group with no button at all.
A dossier behind every plant
Now, Care, Trends, Shadow, Journal and About, per specimen. A growth timeline of dated photographs with side-by-side compare. Placement that names the room and the light it gets. Propagation scored off the parent's vitality, with a lineage tree across generations. A searchable houseplant field guide with difficulty, pet safety and care vitals.
When you go away
Away mode quiets routine reminders and leaves health and frost alerts running. Your sitter gets a printable watering sheet.
Your archive stays yours
One button downloads every specimen, care log, location, setting and photograph as a single dated archive, growth curves included as CSV. One more deletes the account, the files and the billing record with it. No advertising, no resale, no profiling: memberships are the only thing that pays for this.
Start on the free Observer tier: active management for your first specimens, the daily Sanctuary Brief, care protocols and a monthly allowance of AI diagnostics. Cultivator and Conservancy raise the specimen limit and that allowance, connect sensors through Home Assistant, and add frost and heatwave alerts, Away mode and the continuous Shadow. Both paid tiers open with a trial that asks for no card. Current tiers and prices are on the Membership page at botanicallegacy.com.
