Greg: Smart Plant Care Schedules and a Community to Help Your Plants Thrive

Greg is a plant care app that does something most others do not. It learns from your behavior and your home's conditions over time. Instead of giving you a fixed watering schedule, Greg uses information about your location, the humidity in your home, and how your plants have responded to previous care to fine-tune reminders that actually match your plants' real needs.

The app is designed for plant owners of all experience levels. If you are brand new to houseplants, Greg will teach you what each plant needs in simple terms. If you already know your way around a fiddle-leaf fig, Greg's community features let you connect with other enthusiasts, share progress photos, and get advice from people who have grown the same species.

Greg is free to download with optional subscriptions for advanced features. It is available on iPhone and Android. The company behind Greg, Greg the Plant App Inc., has built a database of more than 1,000 common plant species with care guides written in plain English.

One feature that stands out is Greg's "care journal." Every time you water, fertilize, or repot, Greg logs it. If a plant starts struggling, you can look back at the history and often spot what went wrong — maybe you went too long between waterings, or fertilized too heavily before a cold spell. This kind of record-keeping used to require a physical notebook. Greg does it automatically.
