Plant Watering App: SaaS for Forgetful Plant Parents
A watering diary isn't enough. This app sends smart reminders based on plant species and helps prevent your plants from dying.
A freemium mobile SaaS app targeting indoor and balcony plant growers. The core product is a species database with individual watering profiles, push notifications linked to local weather, and optional soil sensor integration. Monetisation is via monthly subscription for premium features โ more precise watering schedules, unlimited plants, historical data, and IoT connectivity. The app can be built on Lovable or a standard full-stack setup (Flutter + Node.js + Firebase) and distributed via the App Store and Google Play.
Most plant owners rely on guesswork or a vague memory. Generic phone alarms don't distinguish between a cactus and an orchid โ so plants either get overwatered or left to dry out. No existing solution accounts for species, location, and seasonal conditions all at once.
