The schedule got slower on its own when the heating came on. I have killed this exact fern three winters running.

About
Pocket Orchard keeps a schedule per plant, not per species: it starts from what the plant needs, then shifts with the season, the size of the pot and the light in the spot where you put it.
Point the camera at a windowsill to measure the light, photograph a leaf to find out why it is yellow, and hand the watering list to a neighbour when you travel. Everything works offline; an account is only needed for sync.

Light meter is the best part. I would like today's list on the home screen without opening the app.
