Your Monstera in a north-facing apartment isn't the same as everyone else's. Trellis watches how you really care for your plants and adjusts the schedule over time — no generic database required.
Free to join. No spam. Unsubscribe anytime.
Your pot, your soil, your apartment, your climate — none of it matters to a generic reminder app. They grab a number from a database and call it a day.
Apps like Planta tell every Monstera owner to water every 14 days. Your plant in a self-watering planter needs water half as often. The app doesn't know and doesn't care.
Real user reviews show the generic database overwatered succulents and orchids two out of three times. Roots rot. Plants die. Users blame themselves.
Custom schedules, plant ID, and the features you actually need are locked behind $7.99/month — before you've even decided if the app is useful.
After 15 days of care logs, Trellis surfaces suggestions based on your real patterns — not a generic average.
5-step setup. Pick your container type — self-watering planter, hanging pot, terrarium — and the schedule adjusts automatically.
Tap "Done" when you water. That's it. Every tap is data. The engine watches the gaps between events.
After enough data, Trellis compares your actual pattern to the scheduled interval. If you're consistently watering every 23 days instead of 21 — it'll tell you.
You're always in control. Accept the suggestion, adjust it to what you know, or dismiss it. Your plant, your call.
Not just watering reminders. A full care system that understands your specific setup.
Watches your real care patterns. Suggests interval changes after 15 days of data. Never resets without your permission.
15 container types with care modifier multipliers. A self-watering planter doubles the base interval. A terrarium cuts it by 70%.
Monthly view of every watering, fertilizing, and repotting event. Color-coded by type. Frost dates for your zone built in.
Live local weather, frost dates by ZIP code, moon phase, and seasonal planting nudges — all in one place.
Phase 3Going away? Declare your absence, reminders pause. Generate a sitter link — your friend logs care from their phone, no account needed.
Snap a photo, get the species name and a care plan. Powered by Plant.id. 50 identifications per month on the AI tier.
Plant care status as HA sensor entities. Build automations. Turn on a reminder light when something's overdue. Full developer API with webhooks.
Phase 3 — for the nerds30-day streak. 100th care event. Your plant's 1-year anniversary. Get a shareable card styled in your theme. Always free.
Log how your plant is doing — Thriving, Healthy, Struggling, Declining. See the full health timeline alongside care history.
We're not here to replace every plant app. We're here for the users they're failing.

I've tried every plant app. They all give my succulents the same schedule as a tropical. I'm building the one I actually want to use.
Trellis is in development now. Early access users will get first dibs, a chance to shape the feature set, and a permanent free tier upgrade as a thank-you.
