Help

Keeping track of your houseplants and the new plants you grow from them, with a history of notes and photos for each one. It also keeps a care log, pest treatments, and the pots, soil mixes and fertilisers you use, but all of that is optional. A plant with just a name is fine.

A new plant you are growing from one you already have, or from seeds. A cutting in a glass of water is the usual example. Others are a corm, an offset or pup, a leaf, a division, an air layer, and seeds. Stikling calls all of them propagations and keeps them apart from your plants until they have rooted and you pot them up.

Stikling is the Danish word for a cutting.

Add a plant from Plants with the + button. A name is all it needs, and the rest can be filled in later. A plant's page opens on its photos and notes, with buttons for Photo, Note and Care. When you take a cutting from it, tap the three dots next to them, then Propagate.

Have plants already? Before you've added anything, the Today page also offers to add several at once, or to start a plant from old photos so its history goes back to when you got it.

Behind the gear at the top of the screen, or at the bottom of the menu on a wide screen. That is where you sign in, save a backup, pick light or dark, and add, rename or merge rooms and tags. The pots, soil mixes and products you use are under Supplies.

Yes, it is open source. Source code under About in Settings opens the code on GitHub, where you can also report a problem or suggest something.

On an iPhone, open Stikling in Safari, tap the Share button, and pick Add to Home Screen.

On Android, open it in Chrome, tap the menu with the three dots, and pick Install app or Add to home screen.

It then opens like any other app, without the browser around it. It is still the same app and the same data, so nothing has to be moved.

On Android, a long press on the icon gives shortcuts to add a plant, start a propagation or open the pest cases.

Yes, in any browser, and on a tablet too. On a wide screen the tabs move to a menu down the left side, with Help and Settings at the bottom of it. A plant or propagation page shows its details next to its history, and the buttons that sit at the bottom of the page on a phone are above the history instead. Today puts what needs doing in a wide column with the rest beside it, and Water plants shows the plants side by side. In the lists, the round + button is a button next to the title.

Each device keeps its own plants until you sign in on both, which keeps them the same.

Yes. Once it has been opened, everything it needs is kept on the phone, including the plant name suggestions. It only goes online to check for a new version, and to sync if you're signed in. When there is a new version, a banner at the bottom asks you to reload.

The first visit downloads the whole app, about 4 MB, so it can work without signal afterwards. On slow mobile data that can take half a minute. After that it opens from the phone in a moment.

Tap the magnifier at the top, or Search in the menu on a computer, where the / key opens it too. It looks through your plants, cuttings, wishes, pots, mixes, feeds, products, rooms and tags, and the notes on every history, care log, problem and pest case. Tap a note to go to it. Notes are searched once every word you type has at least two letters. The search boxes on the Plants, Propagations and Wishlist pages still search just that list.

On this device, in the browser's own storage. If you sign in, it is also kept on the Stikling server, photos included, so your other devices get it too. Without an account, nothing you add leaves this device unless you save a backup and move it yourself.

Yes. When something fails, the app sends a short error report to Sentry, so it can be fixed without anyone having to write in. It says what failed and where in the code. It never has your plants, notes or photos, and has no IP address or account. You can turn it off with Send error reports in Settings, and the privacy page says exactly what a report holds.

Your plants, propagations and photos go with it. Clearing the site data for Stikling, or deleting the installed app, removes everything, and without a backup there is no way to get it back.

Some browsers also clear data by themselves when the phone runs low on space, or when a site hasn't been opened for a while. Installing Stikling to the home screen usually stops that. Under Backup and storage in Settings you can see whether the browser has agreed to keep your data, and ask it to.

Open Settings, then Backup and storage, and tap Save a backup. You get a ZIP file with everything in it, photos included. Keep it somewhere other than the phone, like cloud storage or your computer.

If you're signed in, the backup fetches the full-size photos this device hasn't opened yet, so it can take a while the first time.

Today reminds you when you haven't taken a backup, or when the last one is 30 days old.

Under Backup and storage in Settings, tap Download photos. You get a ZIP file with a folder for each plant, propagation and pot, and every photo is named by the date it was taken. Reference photos go in a Reference folder inside their plant's, or can be left out. The backup has the photos too, but it is made for Stikling to read back, so use this one to keep them or look through them on a computer.

Under Backup and storage in Settings, tap Plants as CSV or Propagations as CSV. You get a file that Excel and Google Sheets can open. It's a copy to read and sort, not a backup: importing the plants file again brings back the plants and their details, but not their photos, history or care.

The easiest way is to sign in on the new phone with the same account. Everything that has synced comes over by itself, photos included. A bar at the bottom shows while your things are being fetched, and photos can take a little longer to appear. Check that the old phone has finished syncing first, on the Account page in Settings.

Without an account, save a backup on the old phone, get the file over to the new one, open Stikling there and tap Restore a backup under Backup and storage in Settings.

A restore adds to what is already there instead of replacing it. Anything missing is added, anything deleted since the backup comes back, and where the same thing was changed in both places, the newer version wins, so a newer one in the backup replaces the one on the device. Restoring the same backup twice does no harm.

Before it restores, Stikling saves a backup of what is on the device now to your downloads, named stikling-before-restore with the date. If the restore removed something you wanted, restore that file to bring it back. It brings back what was deleted, but not edits the restore replaced with newer ones.

Yes. Sign in with the same account on both, and what you add or change on one shows up on the other, photos too.

No. An account is optional, and everything in Stikling works without one. To make one, open Settings, then Sign in, and sign in with Google, Facebook or Discord, or with your email.

With an account, your plants are kept the same on every device you sign in on. If the phone already has plants on it when you sign in, they are added to what your account has, so nothing is lost.

When you open the app, a couple of seconds after you change something, when the connection comes back, and every few minutes while the app is open. The Account page in Settings shows when it last synced, and has Sync now. If something goes wrong, a dot shows on the Settings gear.

Photos go up from the device they were added on. Every device keeps a small copy of each photo, so lists look complete even offline, and fetches the full size when you open one. Once fetched, it stays on the device. With a lot of photos, the first sync on a new device takes a few minutes, and they fill in as they arrive.

Without a connection, everything works as usual and your changes wait on the phone until they can be sent. If the same thing was changed on two devices, the newer change wins, the same as when a backup is restored.

Each account has 1 GB for photos on the server, which is roughly 2,500 photos. When it is nearly full, the Account page in Settings says how much is used. If it fills up, new photos stay on the device they were added on, and deleting photos you don't need makes room. The photos on your device aren't limited by this.

You choose whether to keep a copy on this device or remove it. What has synced stays with your account either way and comes back when you sign in again.

Signing out sends your latest changes first, and tells you if any changes or photos haven't reached the server yet. Removing the data would delete those, so save a backup first if you want to keep them.

Yes. On the Account page in Settings, tap Download your data. You get a ZIP with everything the Stikling server holds about you: your plants and everything else you added, your photos, your settings, and what the sign-in service has, like your email address. The files inside are plain text and open in any text editor.

When you delete something, the server removes it and only keeps a note that it was deleted, so your other devices delete it too.

On the Account page in Settings, tap Delete account at the bottom. It erases everything your account has on the Stikling server, photos included, and deletes your sign-in. It can't be undone.

You choose whether this device keeps what it has. If it does, the app carries on without an account, like before you signed in. Your other devices stop syncing and keep what is on them.

Without an account, nobody but you, since nothing leaves the device. With one, only the people in your collection, and for now that is only you. There are no ads and no tracking. The privacy page has the details.

Yes. On the add plant page, or on Today before you've added anything, tap Quick add or Add several at once, then type or paste a list of names, one per line or separated by commas. Names the app knows, botanical or everyday ones like snake plant, are filled in as genus, species and cultivar, and anything written after them goes into the notes. A name it doesn't know becomes the nickname, and so does an everyday name that two plants share, like money tree, so you can pick which one it is. Check the list, remove what you don't want, and tap the button to add them all.

Sort the list by genus or by room to get a heading for each group, with how many plants are in it. With 30 or more plants sorted A to Z or by genus, a column of letters down the right side jumps to a letter. You can also slide a finger along it. Search works too, and finds a plant by any of its names.

Collection at the top of Plants shows how many plants, species and genera you have, the one you've had longest, and how many there are of each genus and in each room. Tap a genus or a room to see those plants.

Yes. Set how many are in the pot on the plant's edit page, for example five aloe pups kept as one plant. The number shows after its name in the lists.

When some die, are given away or get a pot of their own, open the plant's three dots and tap Some of them. The ones you pot up on their own become plants of their own, with this one as their parent.

When one plant goes into another plant's pot, tap Pot together on its page. It is then counted in the other plant and leaves the lists, but it keeps its history and can be opened from the other plant's page. Take it out again undoes it. Rooted cuttings can go straight into a plant's pot when you pot them up.

Yes. Save the sheet as CSV, or copy the cells with the headings, and open import a spreadsheet on the add plant page or under Backup and storage in Settings. Each of your columns is matched to a field, like the name, the room or the date you got it, and you can change any match. A column that matches no field becomes a field of its own, named after the heading, with the kind of field guessed from what is in it. You can switch it to a line in About it or leave it out, so nothing is lost, and dates for when a plant was last watered, fed or repotted go into its care log. Then check the plants: a row that looks like a plant you already have is left out unless you tick it. When it's done, Undo on the same screen removes everything the import added, the new fields too.

Yes. Open Your fields in Settings, or tap Add a field of your own under More details on the plant form. A field can hold text, a number, a date or a choice from a list you set, like clone name, awards or humidity. It shows on the plant's page once you've filled it in, the search finds the text and the choices, and the spreadsheet export has a column for it. In the plant table each field can be a column and sorted by. A choice field, and How it was raised, can narrow the plant list with the Fields menu next to the filters. In Select, Set a field fills one in on several plants at once. Removing a field hides it. The values stay on your plants and come back if you add a field with the same name again.

Pick How it was raised under Where it came from on the plant form. It has nursery grown, tissue culture, from seed, from a cutting or division, and wild collected. It's asked for plants you bought, got as a gift or swapped for, or don't know the origin of. A plant you grew from seed or propagated already says so. A collector's number or a locality goes in Locality or code, next to the name.

The parts of a plant's botanical name. In Monstera deliciosa 'Thai Constellation', Monstera is the genus, deliciosa the species, and Thai Constellation the cultivar, a named variety. If you don't know them, type what you call the plant under What plant is it?, like snake plant, and pick it from the list to fill them in. Suggestions come up as you type, but anything can be typed, and all three can be left empty if you give the plant a nickname.

Tap Not sure of the name? under the name fields, then pick cf., aff., sp. or Name lost and add a locality or collector code, like Sumatra or EPC 123. The name then shows that way everywhere, like Hoya sp. Sumatra EPC 123, and search finds the code. When you find out what it is, set it to Sure and the plant's history notes when it was identified.

The short number some people write on each pot, like 117. It is optional. Set it in the Collection number field on the plant's edit form, where the next free number is one tap away. A cutting from plant 117 gets 117a, then 117b, so the label on the jar says where it came from. When a cutting is potted up, the plant keeps its number. If several are potted up together, they get 117c1, 117c2 and so on. To number the plants you already have, oldest first, open Collection numbers in Settings. Two plants with the same number are pointed out, but Stikling never changes a number for you.

Pick the plants or cuttings first. On the Plants or Propagations page, tap Select, tick them and tap Labels. For one plant or cutting, open More on its page and choose Print a label. After you start a propagation or pot one up, the page offers a label too. Each label has the collection number, large, with the name beside it. You can add the botanical name and the date, and remove a label with the cross on its corner without touching the plant.

There are three ways to get them out. Label maker app is for a phone label maker like a Niimbot or a Phomemo: pick its label size, and the labels go to the share menu as pictures, where you choose the maker's app. A browser that can't share pictures, like Firefox on Android, saves them instead, and you open them in the app. Tape printer is for a tape printer like a Brother P-touch or a Dymo that is installed on a computer. Pick the tape and the length, tap Print and choose the printer in the print dialog. Sheet is for a normal printer, on A4 or Letter paper, with small tags for pots or long strips for plant stakes, both with cut lines.

The size and what to show are remembered on this device. Nothing is saved on the plants themselves. On tape 12 mm wide or less there is room for the number and the name only.

What it's called in everyday words, like Snake plant under Dracaena trifasciata. It shows on plants without a nickname. The names come with the app, from Wikidata and from lists kept by hand, and a plant the app has no everyday name for only shows its botanical one. Under Everyday names in Settings you can switch between English and Danish names.

A room is where a plant lives, and a spot is a place inside it, like "Living room / On top of the PC". Pick one you have used before so the same room doesn't end up with two names. Filtering the plant list by a room includes its spots. Under Rooms and tags in Settings you can add a room or spot before any plant is in it, rename or merge them, remove one that is empty, and mark one as having a grow light or as outdoors.

Open the plant, tap the three dots next to Photo and Note and pick It died or Gave it away or sold it. For several at once, use Select on the plant list. It leaves the list but keeps its history, and you can still find it under Gone. When you mark a plant as died, you can add a note on what happened. It shows on the plant and in the Gone list, so you can look it over before buying the same plant again. Under Gone, pick Died to see only the plants that died and why. When you add a plant with the same name as one that died, the form reminds you of it and what went wrong. For a plant you gave away or sold, you can note who got it and what it was sold or swapped for, for example a price or the plant you got back. An offspring that was given away or sold shows who got it in the family list. If it comes back, or you picked it by mistake, the same place has Back in the collection. Deleting a plant removes it along with its history, so saying what happened is usually the better choice.

On the plant form, Where from picks a seller or adds one. Type a shop, a friend or a swap event, and the ones you have used before show up to tap, so the same shop doesn't end up written three ways. Under More details, How it arrived says whether it came in good, OK or poor shape, what was wrong (pests, damage, root rot, the wrong plant, smaller than shown) and a short note. Under Supplies, Sellers lists them. Open one to see how many of its plants are still here, died or went to someone else, whether pests turned up within a month of getting a plant, what arrived with pests or damaged, and what you paid. There you can also rename a seller, or merge two that are the same one. Plants you added before keep the text you wrote in Source, and sellers were made from it the first time you opened this version.

No. Open the first one, tap Details and use Add another like this. The add form opens with the same names, room, origin, seller, price paid, medium, soil mix and tags. The nickname, pots, notes and photos are left empty, since those belong to each plant on its own, and the date starts at today. If you got them together, a button under the date switches it to the first plant's date.

If you start a new plant from scratch with a name you already have, the form says so and links to the one you have, in case you meant to open that instead.

Dormant is for a plant that is resting, like an alocasia dropping its leaves for the winter, so it doesn't look dead. Quarantine is for a new or sick plant you are keeping apart from the rest. Both are started and ended with the three dots next to Photo and Note on the plant's page. They show as a badge, have a filter on the plant list, and are written on the plant's history when they start and end. A new plant can go straight into quarantine under More details when you add it. To have bought, swapped and gifted plants start there, turn on Quarantine new plants under Pests in Settings, and untick it on the form when a plant doesn't need it. A quarantine lasts 14 days unless you pick another length, and Quarantine length in Settings changes the one new quarantines start with. When it is up, the plant shows on Today so you can check it and let it out.

Open the plant and tap Care, next to Photo and Note. It shows when it was last watered, fed and so on, and logging is a tap. Under that, The last year is a calendar with a row for each month, showing the days it was watered, fed or had a meter reading, so gaps in the rhythm stand out. Tap a month to list the days in it. When it was last watered also shows under the plant's name, on the plant list and on the Water screen. A refill or top-up counts as water too, and a plant in a self-watering pot is logged as Refilled in Care. To log for several plants at once, tap Select on the plant list, pick them and tap Log care. The same bar can also add a note or tags to all of them, and Move puts them all in a room or spot. Plants already there are left alone. If you have a meter, tap Add EC and pH when logging a feed to note the readings, and they show on that line in the care history.

Yes. In the care sheet, open What you did and pick Add your own… at the end, or go to Settings, then Kinds of care. Give it a name, like misted, bottom watered or refilled the humidifier. Your own kinds show under Your own in the list, on one plant and on several at once. Counts as says what it is: a Watering counts as water, so a bottom watering is something the watering reminder learns from and shows as last watered, and a Feed can have products, water and an EC or pH reading. Neither only goes in the care log. Put it on the plant's history also writes a line for it on the plant's page, which suits things you don't do often, like wiring a branch. In Kinds of care you can rename a kind, change what it counts as and remove it. Entries already logged keep the name they had, and changing what a kind counts as only affects new entries unless you choose to change the old ones too.

Yes, with a care interval. Go to Settings, then Care intervals, or tap Set care to come back in a plant's Care. Pick what it is, like fertilise, repot, prune or a kind of your own, and how often: every so many days, weeks, months or years. Only part of the year limits it, like April to October, or October to March over the new year. Then say who it covers: picked plants, a room, a tag like the one on your semi-hydro plants, or all of them. A room or a tag follows the plants, so one that is moved or tagged later is covered from then on.

Today then has a Care section with what is due, grouped by what to do. Tap the tick to log one plant, or Done for all to log the whole group, and Undo takes it back. The put-off button hides one for a day, 3 days or a week. Each plant is due one interval after the last time you logged it. A plant with nothing logged yet first comes up one interval after you set the interval, so a new one is quiet at first. A plant whose last entry is already longer ago than the interval comes up straight away. Feeding stops while a plant is dormant and picks up when it wakes. If you have set round days, care comes up on the round day before it is due.

Watering is never on an interval. The watering reminder learns how often each plant needs water from the waterings you log, and a fixed schedule would water a plant that isn't ready.

Turn it on under Watering reminder in Settings. It learns how often each plant gets water from what you have logged, and asks you to check the plant on Today when it is probably dry. It never tells you to water, and it never uses a care guide or a fixed number of days. It says nothing about a plant until it has seen a few waterings, so the first weeks are quiet. Until then the plant's page says how many more it needs. Log waterings as you do them and it gets better. It leans later when unsure, since a plant that is checked a day too late is better off than one watered too soon. When a plant watered from the top is due a check, Today has a How to tell if it needs water note under Water with a few ways to check.

If you log meter readings, it learns how long the plant takes to dry down to the level you water at, and that works as soon as one watering has been followed by a dry reading. This is for plants you water from the top. Semi-hydro (LECA and PON), corm risers, self-watering pots and plants with an outer pot you keep water in count how long the reservoir lasts instead, and the row says Refilled when you tick it. A plant in water is topped up, and the row says Topped up. When the way a plant gets water changes, like moving from soil to LECA, it starts learning again, since the old waterings say nothing about the new way. A gap across a trip or quiet time you have added under Away and quiet time isn't learned from either, unless a watering was logged during it.

Change Grows in on its edit page and leave Track the move to semi-hydro ticked, or pick Moving to semi-hydro from the three dots on its page. Its page then has a checklist for washed roots, the first new water root and the first new leaf. Tap a step when it happens, and tap it again to take it off. Once a root and a leaf have both shown up, the page says it has settled in. If nothing new is ticked for 6 weeks, or the weeks you chose, Today asks you to have a look at its roots and leaves.

For a plant you water from the top, tap Still wet and pick what the meter reads, from 0 to 10. The reading is saved with the plant's care, and the plant comes back later, once it has had time to dry. No meter puts it off for a few days without a reading. For the other plants the button says Not yet and does the same. The tick logs the watering, refill or top up for today. The clock puts the row off for a day or more, like the other rows.

It is the meter reading you water at, from 1 to 10, under Watering when you edit a plant that is watered from the top. It is 3 unless you change it, which is the top of the red dry part on most meters. Set it higher for a plant you keep moister, like a peace lily. To leave one plant out of the reminder, switch off Remind me to water there. It stays out of Today until you switch it back on.

Yes. Plants drink less as the days get shorter, so when the days are shortening the reminder leans later for a plant that has no light on it, and it uses the same weeks of earlier years when you have them. A plant under a grow light doesn't slow down in winter, so mark the room or spot as having one under Rooms and tags in Settings. Plants there are left out of the seasons. It also keeps the stretches a plant is dormant apart from the rest, so a plant's slow winter doesn't make the reminder late in spring.

Your own labels, like "variegated", "rare" or "for swap". Picking tags on the plant list shows the plants that have all of them, and tapping a tag on a plant's page does the same. You can make a tag under Rooms and tags in Settings by picking the plants it goes on. There a tag can also be renamed, or merged into another one. Adding or removing a tag is written on the plant's history, so a tag like "flowering" still shows when it started and when you took it off.

On a plant's page, tap More and choose For swap, then pick Cuttings if you can spare cuttings from it or The plant if the plant itself is up for swap. The same choice is in the plant's edit form, and in Select on the Plants page you can mark several plants at once. For a propagation, choose For swap from More or in its edit form and say how many of its cuttings you can spare. That is never more than what is left, and when you record cuttings as given away they come off the number first. The mark shows as a small label on the plant or propagation. A plant that has left isn't listed, and its mark is kept in case it comes back.

One list of what you can swap, before a plant swap or when a friend asks. It is linked from Propagations and from the label on a plant or propagation. Cuttings that exist come first, with how many and how far along they are, then plants you can take cuttings from, then plants that are up for swap. Tap a row to open it. If you tagged plants "For swap" before, the page offers to mark them, and the tag stays on them. Share makes pictures of the list to post in a group: a grid of photos with names and counts, in square, 4:5 or 9:16, split over several pictures when there is a lot on it. Under Text it is a message to send instead.

On the Plants page, tap Share as text. It shares what is shown, so the search and filters apply, or only the plants you selected in Select. Each plant is written with its botanical name and its everyday name in brackets, the same plant twice is written once with ×2, and a plant marked for swap says so. A plant without a botanical name uses its nickname, and other nicknames are left out unless you switch them on. Rooms, prices, where a plant came from and tags are never in it. The last line, "Kept in Stikling, stikling.app", can be switched off before you share. On a phone the text goes to the share menu, and on a computer it is copied.

Open the plant and tap the star next to its name. Starred plants stay at the top of the list whichever way you sort it, and the sort you picked still applies within the starred plants and within the rest. Tap the star again to take it off.

Yes, with the dropdown next to the filters. A to Z is the default. Newest puts the plants you added last at the top, By room groups them by where they stand, and Last activity puts the plants you last watered, fed or wrote something on first. The list keeps the sort you picked the next time you open it on this device.

Yes. The three buttons next to the sort switch between a list, a grid of photos and a table. The grid shows each plant's cover photo, with its name underneath. The table has a column for each detail, like a spreadsheet: when it was watered and fed, its room, what you paid and more. Tap a column's heading to sort by it, and tap it again to turn the order round. In the table, a Columns button takes the sort's place and picks which columns show. Drag them into your own order there, or use the arrows. Moisture is left empty once the plant has been watered since the reading, because the reading no longer says how the soil is. On a phone the table scrolls sideways with the name staying put. Each device remembers its own view, columns and sort.

Light where it stands notes how much light the plant gets where it stands: low, medium, bright indirect or some direct sun. It is optional, and you can set it under More details when you add or edit the plant. Adding another plant like one you already have copies it. The light the plant likes is a separate setting, under What it likes.

It notes what a plant wants: the light it likes, how it likes its water, how much humidity, and whether it rests in winter or summer and how. The light where it stands and the light it likes are two things, so set what it likes under What it likes on the plant's form, under More details. When the two differ, the plant's page says it stands somewhere darker or brighter than it likes. The plant list can be filtered by it, for example to find the plants that want high humidity, and the table view has columns for it. When you change it on one plant, the app offers to change the others of the same species too, and leaves them alone if you say no.

For many common houseplants, the form offers what the plant usually likes, with where that comes from. Use only fills in what is still empty.

When you set a growing season, Today asks whether the plant has gone dormant when its rest comes round.

From a list of about 70 common houseplants that comes with the app. Each value is taken from a named source: NC State Extension, the Missouri Botanical Garden or the RHS for care, and is only what the source says about growing it indoors. A season is only suggested when the source says the plant goes dormant. Anything no source gives is left empty. Use never changes what you have set, and a plant can like something else than usual, so change it if yours does.

A plant's page, and a propagation's, says under Details whether it is toxic to cats and dogs, from the ASPCA, and to people when NC State Extension says, with a link to the source. It goes by the genus and species, so set those. Nothing known about pets means the app has no source for that plant, not that it is safe. If a pet has eaten part of a plant, call your vet.

Open the plant's page, tap the three dots and choose Flowering. Mark that it has a spike or buds, that it is in flower, or that it is done, on the day or on an earlier one. Each stage goes on its history, and you can add a photo right after. A flowering from before you used the app can be added with just a month, under Add a past flowering. While a plant is in bud or in flower, a badge shows on it in your list.

Open it from the Flowering link on the Plants page. It shows what is in flower now, what usually flowers next month going by your own records, and the whole year month by month. After two years with flowerings, a plant's page says when it usually starts, like by April, and says so if nothing has started yet this year. It never says what to do about it.

Open the Wishlist link on the Plants page and tap Add a wish. Search for the plant like when you add one, or just write a name of your own, like "that pink syngonium". You can add where to find it, the most you would pay and what you liked about it. A wish says when you already have the plant, like "You have 2", or another of the same species. A wish can have photos too, like the plant at a shop or a listing. When you get the plant, they move to it as reference photos.

Tap Got it on the wish and choose a plant or a cutting. The add form opens filled in from the wish. Once you save it, the wish moves to Got at the bottom of the wishlist, with a link to the plant or cutting. If you add a plant or cutting with the same name some other way, the form offers to mark the wish got. A wish in Got can be put back on the list.

Yes. Search on the Plants page and the wishes that match show under the plants, in a group called On your wishlist. The search on the Wishlist page does the same the other way round: it shows the plants and cuttings you already have under the wishes. Share as text on the Wishlist page sends the open wishes as a list. Notes and the most you would pay are left out unless you switch them on.

Open the plant you took it from and tap Propagate, so the new plant stays linked to it. For something without a parent plant, like bought seeds, use the + button on Propagate.

Under Setup on the form, Grows in is what it sits in, like perlite, sphagnum, LECA or water, and Container is the box or glass it is in. Container picks from your containers, shown as buttons under the box, and a new one you type is added when you save. They are kept with your pots under Supplies, then Pots, then Propagation, where you can say how many of each you have and see how many are free.

If you have started one from the same plant before, or another of the same genus, the form offers Like last time with what you used then. Tap Use to fill in the type, medium, container, rooting aids and drying, and change anything you like. Nothing is filled in until you tap it.

Started is the day you put it in water or a medium. Rooting is when the first roots show. Rooted is when it has roots enough to be potted up, or to be a plant if it is already in soil. To move it on, tap the stage button next to Photo and Note on the propagation's page and pick the next one. Moving it to Rooting there also notes today as the day of the first root, and the dates can be changed with Edit. For seeds the same stages are called Sown, Germinating and Sprouted.

A propagation is finished once all of it has been potted up, given away or has failed. It is then Done if any of it was potted up or given away, and Failed if none was.

A finished propagation shows how it turned out: how many days it ran, the day of the first root, how many were potted up, and the plants it became with the room each one is in now.

Marked one as failed or potted one up by mistake? Edit the propagation and correct the numbers under Progress. Any left over go back to growing, and the history keeps a note of the correction.

Give the propagation a count, like 3 corms in LECA. They are tracked as one batch, and you can pot up or mark failed one or a few at a time as each goes its own way.

Yes. Pick Seed as the type and put the number of seeds you sowed in How many. The sowing date is the day you started it. Moving it to Germinating notes the day the first one came up. To say how many have come up, edit the propagation and fill it in under Progress. It then shows how many came up, as a percentage.

It turns one or more from the propagation into plants in your collection. You find it, and Mark failed, behind the stage button on the propagation's page. Each new plant keeps a link to the plant the propagation came from, so you can always see where it started. It also takes the cutting's cover photo, and the plant's page shows the photos from when it was a cutting, marked As a cutting, with a link back to the propagation. They stay on the propagation. Both ask for a date, today unless you change it, so something you only found out a week later is recorded on the right day. When you mark one as failed you can also pick why (rotted, dried out, pests, mould, never rooted or don't know) and add a note. Both are optional, so it stays one tap.

A propagation that is already in soil, bark, LECA or PON has It's a plant now there instead of Pot up. It makes the plant in the medium it is in, so there is no new medium to pick unless you moved it.

No, a pup or division with its own roots is a plant already. Add it as a plant and pick the plant it came from as its parent, so the family tree still shows where it started. Start propagation links to this when the type is a pup or a division. One you already started as a propagation in soil, bark, LECA or PON has It's a plant now under its stage button, which keeps the medium it is in.

Yes. Tap Care next to Photo and Note on its page. One in soil, bark, LECA or PON can be watered or given a moisture reading from 0 to 10, and one in water or on a corm riser gets Changed the water. The newest shows under its name, like "watered 2 days ago", and logging care counts as looking at it, so it stays off the list of propagations nobody has looked at. When it is potted up, its last watering goes with it to the new plant. A water change doesn't, since a plant in soil wasn't watered by it.

Yes. Open its stage and tap Gave some away. It counts as given away rather than potted up or failed, stays in its history, and doesn't change its success rate. You can send whoever got it a link to its story right after.

Under a plant's name you see what it came from and how many propagations and plants have come from it. Family tree there, or in the Family section further down, opens a page with the plant in the middle, up to three generations it came from above it, its siblings beside it, and what has grown from it below, with the cuttings still on their way. Tap any plant there to move the tree to it, so a big family never turns into one huge chart. It follows the links across generations, so a cutting of a cutting still leads back to the first plant. Under the name, the plant also adds up what it has given: how many cuttings were taken and how many rooted, how many plants were given away or sold, and how many plants have come from those in turn.

For a while after a plant arrived, was repotted or was moved to another place, its page says so under the name, like "Repotted 6 days ago, moved to Hall 3 days ago". It only states what happened. Under Recent changes on a plant in Settings you choose how long it shows: one, two or four weeks, or not at all. An arrival only shows when the plant's date of getting it is known to the day.

LECA: Fired clay balls. With water in the bottom of the pot, they wick it up to the roots, with no soil. This is called semi-hydro.

PON: A ready-made mix of mineral grains like pumice, zeolite and lava rock, used for semi-hydro in place of soil.

Sphagnum: Long-fibred moss that holds a lot of water and still lets air in. Often used to root cuttings.

Corm riser: The corm sits on a raised layer above water in a closed box, so it stays damp without sitting in water.

Air layer: Roots are grown on a stem while it's still on the plant, in damp moss wrapped round it, and it's cut off once they're there.

Give the batches you started together the same name under Experiment, in More details when you start or edit them. The Propagations list then shows them side by side, with a bar for how long each took to root and the dates of the first root and first leaf. For corms you can note the size when editing, and it shows on each row, so bigger and smaller corms can be compared.

Success rate and days to root on the Propagations list shows how each medium, each type and each rooting aid has done across everything you have propagated. Once three batches of the same type in the same medium have rooted, a propagation still going also says whether it is on time or slower than usual.

Where you picked a reason for failures, each medium also shows what it lost cuttings to, like rot or drying out, and whether that was mostly before or after rooting. Failures with no reason picked show as not recorded.

Advice differs, so Stikling lets your own cuttings answer it. Under Rooting aids when you start or edit a propagation, tick Let the cut end dry first and say for how long, in hours or days. Once you have dried some, the results page compares the batches that were not dried with the ones dried for under a day and for a day or more, with how many made it and how long they took to root.

Today's round if you have turned it on, pest treatments that are due, anything you have flagged that has started, plants whose quarantine is up, problems you asked to look at again, propagations nobody has looked at for a week, plants to check for water, care you set to come back, and the monthly photo reminder if they are turned on, an old photo of a plant from this day in an earlier year, in December your year with your plants, and under Lately, what you wrote down in the last 30 days. It also reminds you to back up. While you are away or in quiet time, and on the day you are back, it shows less. The next answers say how.

A propagation without a nickname is listed as, for example, Cutting of Monstera deliciosa, so it isn't mistaken for the plant it came from. The line at the top counts your plants and the propagations going. Once something has been potted up or has failed this month, it also says how many of those units were potted up. On the installed app, the icon shows the number of things due on Today. It is updated each time you open Today.

Open Water plants from the top of the Plants list, or from the Water list on Today when plants are due. With several rooms, tap All rooms, or pick the rooms in the order you walk them and tap Start. The order is kept for next time. Pick Meter or Feel the soil at the top, then answer each plant: tap the meter's reading, from 0 to 10, or tap Dry or Still damp after pushing a finger into the soil. A plant that is dry shows a Watered button, and tapping it saves the watering at once. Undo on the row takes it back. A plant that is still damp only has a small Watered anyway. Nothing is ticked for you. A plant's feed comes with the button when it is due by that plant's setting, and change lets you pick another feed, or none. Plants in a reservoir or in water have a button to top up and nothing to read. You can also tap Watered on a plant you haven't checked. Feed this round at the top gives one feed with every watering there, unless a plant has its own feed due. Cuttings in soil or bark are listed under their room, after its plants, with the meter or Dry and Still damp too. A cutting has no feed, and Still damp on a cutting is only kept while the screen is open. Done shows what was watered.

On Water plants, pick Feel the soil. Push a finger a few centimetres into the soil and tap Dry or Still damp for each plant. Still damp puts the plant off on Today the same way No meter does, so it comes back later. Dry isn't saved anywhere, only the watering you tap Watered for.

Add your trip under Away and quiet time in Settings, with the day you leave and the day you are back. From the day you leave, Today stops asking for anything until the day you are back: no pest treatments, flags, problems to look at again, watering checks, propagations to look at or photo reminders, and the number on the app icon goes to zero. A year ago and Lately stay, and a bar shows how far into the trip you are. A week before you leave, Today mentions it and links to the sheet for a plant-sitter. The link stays on Today while you are away.

The watering reminder doesn't learn from a gap across the trip, since nothing was meant to happen in it, unless a watering was logged during it, say by whoever looked after your plants. If you are home early, tap I'm back on Today and it asks again at once.

The same as being away, without the trip. Use it for a busy stretch or a break from the app, with an end date of a week, two weeks, a month or a date you pick. Today stops asking for anything until then, and the watering reminder leaves those days out of what it learns. Add it under Away and quiet time in Settings.

Open Sitter sheet on Today before a trip or while you are away, or Sheet for a plant-sitter on the Away and quiet time page. It makes one page for whoever looks after your plants: which plants to check on which visit, how to tell whether one needs water, how to water it, where it is and a note from you. Pick how often they come by, how you usually water, whether you have a moisture meter, and which plants and cuttings are on it. The plants are in the order you walk past them, room by room.

There are three layouts. Plant labels gives each plant a card with a box for each visit. Visits first lists what to check on each visit, with the cards on a second page. Chart is a table for the fridge, plants down the side and visits across, also with the cards on a second page.

The sheet says when to check a plant and never when to water it. A box means look at it that day. The plants you have watered a few times are checked about when they usually need water, and the rest on every visit. The page also lists plants that are due for a look before you leave, which stays off the printed sheet. The box at the top says what to do first: read the moisture meter if you have one, otherwise push a finger into the soil, and leave the plant alone unless it is dry all the way down. Only then does it say how to water, and you can leave those steps off.

Each plant watered from the top can be set to From the bottom, From the top or Soak, in its edit form or in the list at the bottom of the page, and the card only says so when it differs from your usual way. You can write the usual way in your own words instead. Plants in water or on a reservoir are only topped up. A plant's edit form also has a note for a plant-sitter.

Tap Print or save as PDF to print it or keep a PDF, or Share as text to send it in a message. Nothing is put online.

On the day you are back, Today opens with a short list of the plants and cuttings worth a look before anything else: open pest cases, cuttings in water that nobody has looked at for a while, plants furthest past their usual pace, and ones you flagged. It shows up to five. Tap the tick, Looked at it, on one to cross it off, or tap Go round these to go through them one by one. It is a list to look at and never a list of what is overdue.

Water and Worth a look come back once you are through the list, or after three days. Done with this list puts it away sooner. You can set the number to 3, 5, 10 or all of them on the Away and quiet time page.

A set of pictures of your year with your plants, ready to post: how many plants you added and where they came from, how your propagations did, the quickest one to root, the medium that worked best, the plant you photographed most, one plant's first and last photo of the year side by side, and a collage. Open it from the link at the bottom of Today or from Success rate and days to root on the Propagations tab. In December it also shows up on Today by itself, until the middle of January. Flick through the cards, leave out any you don't want to share, and share them one at a time or all at once. Square and 4:5 fit a feed post, and 9:16 fits a story. Earlier years are there too. Plants that died that year are listed under the cards, and never put on one.

Add a note or a photo to it, or move its stage. Anything on its history counts as looking at it. If there is nothing to say yet, tap the clock on the row to put it off until tomorrow, for 3 days or for a week. It comes back by itself after that.

Tap the three dots next to Photo and Note on a plant or propagation, then Flag it, and say what it needs, like "Repot soon". With Now it stays on Today under Needs attention until you tick it off there or on its page.

Choose Later to hold it back. Pick a month, like March, or a day, or the next round day if you have set round days. It stays off Today until then, and works like any other flag from that day. Until it starts, the page shows it greyed out with Change and Remove.

Once a month, Today lists the plants and propagations that haven't had a photo that month, room by room, with a camera button on each. It keeps every history growing. It is off until you turn it on in Settings.

Open a room from Today's round, tap Go round these under Water on Today, filter the Plants list to a room and tap Go round, or tap Go round on a room under Rooms and tags. Each plant gets a card with a meter reading, Watered, Looked over, a photo, or Skip. The propagations come after the plants.

Looked over goes on the plant's history, and tells the watering reminder that the plant isn't ready yet. You can leave halfway. Opening the round again the same day starts at the first one with nothing logged.

Turn it on under Daily round in Settings. Today then suggests the room that has gone longest without anything logged on its plants and propagations, so you work round the home a room a day. Put it off to see another room, or skip it for the day. A room you go round and skip every plant in stays suggested, since nothing was logged there. If you have set round days, it only shows on those days.

If you go round your plants on set days, like Sunday, or Wednesday and Sunday, pick them under Round days in Settings. A watering check then comes up on the round day before it is due, so you see them all at once instead of each on its own day. After Still wet it waits for the next round day. A check is not a watering, so looking a bit early does no harm. A plant that dries out faster than the time between your round days keeps its own days.

Propagations waiting for a look and care you set to come back are gathered the same way. Pest treatments, flags and quarantine keep their own days. On the days in between, Today says how many plants and propagations wait for the next round, with Go round now to go round the plants early.

When a plant has a photo taken on this day a year ago (or two or three), or six months ago, Today shows it next to the plant's newest photo, so you can see how much it has grown. The newest photo has to be at least 30 days newer, and only one plant is shown, the one with the longest gap. Tap Before and after to make a card of the two to share. The card says how long ago it was, like A year ago today. It goes away on its own tomorrow.

When a plant's growing season is set under What it likes on its form, Today asks around the time its rest usually starts. That is from November for a plant that rests in winter (May in the southern hemisphere), and from June for one that rests in summer (December in the south). If it went dormant earlier than that, Today asks earlier the next year. Yes, it's dormant marks it dormant, and Not this year stops asking until next season. Plants without a season set are never asked, since most houseplants don't rest.

Sign in, then open Settings and find Notifications. Tap Turn on and allow notifications when the browser asks. You get one notification a day with what Today asks for, like pest treatments that are due or plants to check, at the time you pick. You can have it every day, only on your round days, or only on the weekdays you choose.

Each device is turned on by itself, so turn it on on the phone and leave the computer off if you like. The time and the days are yours and are the same on every device.

A day with nothing due sends nothing, and neither does a day you haven't picked. The list is worked out on your device, so it has to have opened Stikling since things changed, or a plant that became due won't be in it. Notifications can also be blocked for Stikling in the browser or in the phone's settings, and a battery saver can hold them back until you pick the phone up. Send a test in Settings shows whether a notification reaches this device at all.

On an iPhone or iPad, add Stikling to your home screen first: tap Share, then Add to Home Screen. Open it from there, sign in, and turn notifications on in Settings. In Safari itself the option isn't available.

No. A notification never asks you to water. It can ask you to check the soil of a plant, the way Today does, but whether to water is for you to decide.

Its history, which is what the page opens on. Everything that happened to a plant or propagation, newest first: your notes, your photos, and changes the app wrote down by itself, like a new stage or a move to another room. Tap a photo to see it full screen, choose which one is the cover and frame it. Where it came from, where it stands and what it grows in are under Details, and Edit changes them.

A photo that isn't of your own plant, like the seller's listing or the plant fully grown. It stays out of the history and is never the cover, so it doesn't count as a photo of the plant, and it is left out of shared pages, the time-lapse and your year. It is kept as a record of what you bought, in case a label goes missing. Add one with Add a reference photo under Details, or open a photo and tap Move to reference. Reference photos show in a row under the history, and Move to history puts one back where it was.

Yes. The phone's own gallery only shows photos stored on the phone, so turn on Pick from Google Photos in Settings to reach the ones that are only in the cloud. Then Photo on a plant's or propagation's page asks whether to take them from the phone or from Google Photos, and the add and edit pages get a Google Photos button. Google Photos opens, you pick, and when you come back to Stikling the photos are fetched and dated from the photo itself. Google asks you to allow it the first time, and again after an hour.

Tap the photo at the top of the page, or any photo in the history, to see it full screen. There, Set as cover makes it the one at the top and on the cards. Frame lets you drag the photo and zoom in so the plant sits well where the photo is cropped, on cards, at the top of the page and in the history. The photo itself isn't changed, and full screen always shows all of it.

Yes. Tap Photo on its page and choose them from your photos. Each photo lands on the day it was taken, read from the photo itself, so the history starts from the beginning. If some photos have no date of their own, the app says how many so you can check them.

For a plant you haven't added yet, pick them with Gallery when adding it, or tap start from old photos on Today before you've added anything. When you got it then moves back to the day of the oldest photo, unless you've already changed it.

Starting a propagation works the same way: add its photos with Camera or Gallery on the form. The newest becomes the cover, and Started on moves back to the day of the oldest photo.

Tap Share on its page. Stikling makes one picture with a photo, its name, a plain line about it like "Cutting from my Monstera, rooted in 18 days in LECA", and stikling.app small in a corner. Choose square, 4:5 or 9:16 to fit where you are posting, and pick which of its photos to use. On a phone, Share opens the share menu, so the picture goes straight to Instagram, Messages or wherever you choose. Where the browser can't do that, Save image keeps it as a picture you can post yourself.

The line is written from what the app has kept, and it only says what it knows. You can change the name and the line before sharing. Nothing you change is saved, and nothing leaves your device until you share the picture. With no photo, or by choosing No photo, you get a card built around the biggest number, like how many days it took to root.

With two or more photos you can also make a before and after. Tap Share, then Before and after. It puts two photos side by side with the date on each and how long apart they were. It starts on the first and the newest photo, and you can change either one.

With three or more photos you can make a time-lapse video. Tap Share, then Time-lapse. Each photo shows for a moment with its date and how long you had it, or the day count, in the order they were taken, and fades into the next. Choose Slow, Normal or Fast, and the size, and the preview plays on a loop. Tap a photo in the row to leave it out, and tap it again to put it back. At least two stay in, and a video takes up to 60 photos, so a longer history starts with 60 spread over it. Then tap Make video. It is made on your phone, without sound, so it takes a little while, and you can cancel it. When it is done, Share video opens the share menu and Save video keeps it as an MP4 you can post on TikTok or Reels. If you change anything after that, you make it again. Firefox on Android makes videos more slowly than other browsers.

A plant's photos show how long you had it when they were taken, like 3 May 2026 · 1 yr 2 mo, counted from the date you got it. That needs the month you got it, and a full date to count the days in the first month. A propagation's photos show the day since it was started, like 3 May 2026 · day 24. Photos taken before that date get no count.

Yes, if you're signed in. Tap Share on its page, then Link, then Make link. You get a link to a page anyone can open, without the app or an account, with its photos, milestones and notes from the first day to now. Post it with a cutting's progress, or send it to the friend who gave it to you. The page follows the plant, so new photos and notes show up on it after the next sync.

You choose what is on it. Switch off Show my notes to keep your notes to yourself, tap a photo to leave it out, and change the name and the line under it. The line starts as the one on the share card, like "Cutting from my Monstera", so change it if that says more than you want. The page never shows the room, the price, the shop or person it came from, who it went to, its tags, pots or care. While notes are shown, the note box on that plant says so.

Turn off the link stops the page within a few minutes, and so does deleting the plant, and anyone who opens the link sees that it is gone. Turning it on again makes a new link. A link needs an account because the page is shown from the Stikling server, using the photos your device has uploaded.

A plant that was potted up from a propagation shows the rooting it came from at the start of its page, up to the day it was potted up. After you mark a plant or a cutting as given away or sold, the app offers to send the link, so whoever got it can see its story and keep a copy in their own Stikling.

Yes, once they have marked it as given away or sold. Open the link and tap Keep its history in Stikling. Stikling opens, shows what will be copied, and asks for a nickname, who gave it to you, its room, and for cuttings how many you got. The photos, milestones and the notes the page shows are copied to your device once, and kept under Before you got it on its page. They don't change if the page changes later, and they stay if the link is turned off. You don't need an account. If you delete it and open the link again, you can bring it back.

The history a plant or cutting had before it was given to you, copied from the link you were sent. It can't be edited, but you can frame its photos and pick one as the cover. Your own history starts at Arrived, above it. If you make a share link for it yourself, the page shows that history first, with its notes only while Show my notes is on, so it carries on to whoever you pass it to.

Tap the pencil next to a note or photo in its history to change its text or date. The earlier version is kept and shown under edited. To write something down that happened earlier, tap Happened earlier? before adding the note or photo.

One outbreak, like spider mites in the living room. A case covers the whole collection, one room, or the plants you pick, because pests spread and are treated together. You say how often to treat, and Today shows when the next round is due.

Pests only gets a tab while a case is being treated or watched, or a plant has a problem that isn't over. The rest of the time the page, called Pests and problems, is under Supplies, with your old cases. To open a case for one plant, tap the three dots next to Photo and Note on its page, then Found pests.

Open the plant, tap More, then Something's wrong. Pick what you see, like yellow leaves or root rot, and add a note or a photo. Later, tap How does it look? on the plant or the problem to say whether it's better, the same or worse and what you did. When it's over, say how it ended.

A pest case is for bugs, and can cover a whole room, with treatments on a schedule. A problem is for one plant and anything else that's wrong, like rot, sunburn or brown tips. It keeps what you tried and whether it helped.

When you log a problem or an update, you can ask to look again in a few days. On that day the plant shows on Today with How does it look? Pick No and nothing comes up.

No. It can't see the plant. When you log a problem, it shows what you did the last times one of your plants had the same, and how that ended, so you can decide.

Yes. Tap the three dots on the plant's page, then Check for pests. No signs logs that you looked it over, and the plant's page then shows when it was last checked. Found some opens a case instead. A check on a case counts too.

Mark the balcony or garden as outdoors under Rooms and tags in Settings. A spot in an outdoor room counts too. When you move a plant from there to an indoor room, Stikling offers to put it in quarantine and to log a check for pests. This works from the plant's edit page and when you move several plants at once from the Plants list. It only asks when a plant moves, never on a date.

When a case is on plants you picked, the case lists the other plants in the same rooms, since pests spread to plants that stand close. Each shows when it was last checked. Clean logs a check on it, and Add to case puts it in the case.

While a case is Treating, each treatment you log moves the next one along by the interval (or the next step, if it follows a treatment plan), and the case shows when the next one is due once the first is logged. Until then, Today and the Pests and problems page show the case as having no treatment yet. Set it to Watching when the pests seem gone, and Today asks for a check once a week instead. If a check finds some, Found some puts it back to treating.

A case being watched counts the days since its last treatment, like Clean 12 of 28 days. It takes 4 weeks unless you change it under Pests in Settings. When the count is reached and you have logged a check in the last week, the case says it is ready to resolve, and Today lists it under Ready to resolve. It never resolves by itself, so tap Resolve when you agree. Finding pests again starts the count over.

Count what is on a yellow or blue sticky trap now and then, and the app works out how many were caught since last time. The chart of the catch per week shows whether the treatment is working. Thrips, fungus gnats and whitefly fly into traps, so their cases show the trap straight away. Other pests rarely end up on one, but if you have a trap up anyway, tap Count a sticky trap on the case.

No. They are all under Supplies for anyone who wants them. Once they are there, a plant can pick its pot and mix from a list, and logging a feed says what went in the water without typing. A propagation that grows in soil can pick a mix too, and it goes on to the plants when you pot up.

Save it under a name with what is in it. On the Soil mixes page, tap the number of plants next to a mix to see which plants are in it, and tap a plant to open it. If every ingredient has an amount, tap Measure out, type how much mix you want, and the app says how much of each ingredient to use.

A product is one bottle or bag, like a fertiliser or silica, with the dose you usually use. A feed is several products mixed into the water together, in the order they go in. Fill in how much water you are mixing, and the app says how much of each to add. Tap the line saying how many plants a feed has been given to, and it lists the plants and the days they got it.

Yes. When you add or edit a product, you can fill in what it contains as printed on the label: N, P and K for a fertiliser, and other nutrients like calcium, magnesium or silicon for any product, under Add a nutrient. Type the numbers as the label gives them, in percent. Labels usually give phosphorus and potassium as oxides, and the app doesn't convert them. What you fill in shows under the product in the list, and next to its name when you pick products for a feed, so bottles that look alike are easy to tell apart.

Yes. Open the plant, tap Edit and look under Watering for Feed with the watering. Pick a saved feed, then choose every watering, every second watering or every third. After that, ticking Watered or Topped up logs the feed and its doses too, on the days it is due. It is off until you set it, and a plant with no saved feed to pick has to wait until you have saved one under Feeds.

A nursery pot is the plain one the plant actually sits in, and an outer pot is the decorative one without drainage that it goes inside. Some pots are neither and stand on their own. The Pots page lists one kind at a time, and shows which of yours are in use and which are free. Containers for propagating, like a box with a lid, have their own tab. Picking a self-watering pot for a plant sets "Grows in" to LECA, and you can change it after.

Give each one a photo. Tap Photo beside a pot on the Pots page, or add photos while adding or editing it. The photo then shows beside the pot there, on the chips when you pick a pot for a plant, and on the page of each plant that uses it, where tapping it shows the pot's photos. The photos belong to the pot, not to a plant, so they stay with it when it moves to another plant. Open a pot's photos on the Pots page to choose which one is shown, frame it or delete one. Deleting a pot deletes its photos too.

Sprays and drenches you make up yourself against pests, like an alcohol spray. Save one under Supplies, and logging a treatment is then a tap. Mix a batch works out the amounts for any size of bottle.

Yes, with a treatment plan. Under Supplies, then Treatment plans, add the steps in order. Each step after the first says how many days after the step before it comes, and what it uses: one of your treatment recipes, or whatever you type. To use one, open a case and tap Follow a plan, or pick the plan when you open the case. The first step is due on the day you start.

While the plan runs, Today and the case show the step that is up next. Log it when it's done, Skip it if you won't do it, or Move it to a later day. The next step counts from the day the one before was done or skipped, so a late spray moves the rest along. A treatment you log outside the plan, like an extra spray, doesn't move it on. After the last step Today asks whether to start watching the case or keep treating. If you keep treating, the case goes on at its interval. You can also stop a plan from the case at any time.

The case keeps its own copy of the steps, so changing or deleting the plan later doesn't change one that is running. A case without a plan works as before, with a treatment every few days at the interval you set.
