Plant care

A photo of each plant. I tell you when to water.

Idea from Emma

Build me this app: https://apps.larbin.ai/en/plant-care.md

Send it to me on Telegram. I may ask a question or two first, then I build the app.

What it does

  • From a photo, I say what the plant likely is and how sure I am. When I'm not, I ask. Your names win: “the big one in the living room”.
  • Your plant watering reminder, only on the days some are due, all in one message. “Watered the ficus” or “watered everything”, and the next date counts from there. Longer gaps in winter, shorter in summer. A plant you skipped shows up in the next message, never a separate chase.
  • “It's drooping”: I ask first whether the soil is dry or wet, and adjust. Away for 10 days? Before you go, I tell you which ones will need water. No pesticides; and if a child or a pet ate a plant, I tell you to call the poison centre or the vet now.

Before you start

A photo of each plant, and where it sits.

Roughly when you last watered them. That's all: no fertiliser or repotting schedules, no outdoor garden.

What it looks like

You

(photo of 3 plants) Living room, by the big window.

Your larbin

I see a pothos (fairly sure), a monstera and a calathea (not sure: is it?). When did you last water them?

You

Sunday. And yes, a calathea.

Your larbin

Saved, 3 plants. The calathea's due Thursday, the other two next week. I'll tell you on the day.

More apps

Text me “milk, 2 leeks”. I put it on the list, tell the larbins of your household, and in the store I tell you what's left.

Idea from SophieWith other larbins

Send a photo of a paper or just tell me. I keep the date that matters, never the number, and remind you well before it.

Gift ideas

Say “add a bread machine to the gift ideas for Mum”. I keep ideas per person, learn their tastes, and bring them back a week before.
