Keep everyone aligned on taking care of your plants. Same list, assigned tasks, fewer crossed wires.
Coming soonYour plants look amazing,
Your plants look amazing,
and you didn't have to guess.
Grove Plant Care is a plant care app for iOS and Android that gives everyone who cares for a home's plants, indoors and out, one shared care list. Snap a photo to identify a plant, get a care plan that explains why, and see whose turn it is. Other apps remind you to water; Grove also knows when to stop you.
Get in firstShared care
Shared plant care for the whole household
Built for everyone who helps, not just one phone.
Plants live in homes, gardens and patios, with people looking after them. Grove ends “I thought you watered it”: one shared care list, real roles, and reminders that name whose turn it is.
And when you travel, hand your plants to anyone with peace of mind: add them to your household and they'll know exactly what each plant needs — while you watch it get done, on schedule.
Zero guesswork
Plant identification and care plans that explain themselves
AI that admits when it isn't sure.
Snap a photo of a plant in a shop or on a friend's porch, get a struggling plant thriving — with the why behind every recommendation. A hanging basket, a patio plant, and one in the ground each get a care plan tailored to how they grow. When the AI isn't certain, it says so and lets you correct it in one tap. And sometimes the honest advice is put the watering can down — overwatering kills more houseplants than neglect ever has, and Grove is the rare app that treats it that way.
Calm & beautiful
One daily care list, not a dashboard
A greenhouse, not a dashboard.
One clear list of what needs doing today — house, room, plant. No chat window to interrogate, no dashboard to decode. Open it, glance, get your Saturday back. There's more growing in here — but your plants would rather show you than tell you.
Your plants have opinions
In Grove, every check-in comes with a note from the plant itself.
“This plant isn't dying — it's just dramatically thirsty.”— a Monstera, being honest
“You water me every 3 days — flattering, but that's a flood for my style. Every 5 days, push a finger 2 inches into my soil. Dry down there? Pour away. Still cool and damp? Ask me again tomorrow.”— a Pothos, setting boundaries
“Standing tall and drinking responsibly.”— a Snake Plant, thriving
Example check-in notes Grove writes in each plant's voice.

Less guesswork. Everyone working together. Thriving plants.
What changes for you and the plants once Grove is in the home.
A check, not a calendar nag
Lets you know when and how to check if your plant needs water. A fixed schedule misses what the plant actually needs.
Buy new plants with confidence
ID a plant with a picture and see how to care for it. Run a health check so you know what you are getting into before you buy.
Nurture sick plants back to thriving
Take 2 or 3 pictures and get a detailed look at the plant's health, possible issues, and a plan to get it thriving again.
Remember that plant you saw
Save it to a list while it is still in the shop, on a walk, or at a friend's. Wish list, sure. To-buy list, absolutely. Exotic list, why not.
Get the house jobs done too
Add general house tasks to the schedule, assign them to a person, and watch them get done next to the plant care.
Care that matches how you grow
Get a plan you can edit so the house follows what works for that plant in that spot, hanging basket, patio, or in the ground.
Advice you can believe
See the why behind each suggestion. When Grove is unsure, it says so, and you can correct it in one tap.
Leave town without anxiety
Whoever is taking care of your plants knows what each one needs and when. You can see when they complete tasks. Come back to plants that are thriving, not waiting for triage.
The whole house on the same page
For bilingual households or care teams, each person can read Grove in their language, English or Spanish, while the shared list stays one coordinated household.

How Grove compares
Planta, Greg and Blossom assume one person is doing the watering, from a fixed schedule they don't explain. Grove is built around everyone who cares for the plants: one shared list, tasks you can assign so nothing gets watered twice or skipped, and an AI plan you can edit, one that says why and admits when it isn't sure. See the full comparison.
Frequently asked questions
What is Grove?
Grove is a plant care app for everyone who looks after a home's plants, indoors and out. It identifies plants from a photo, writes a care plan that explains its reasoning, and keeps everyone on one shared care list.
Is Grove available on iPhone and Android?
Grove is built for iPhone and Android and is in private beta now. Join the waitlist and tick "help test the beta": if you're invited in, you use Grove free until it launches.
Can my whole household use Grove?
Yes — and it's not limited to the people you live with. Invite anyone who helps care for your plants and give each one a role: admins manage the house, gardeners manage plants and care plans, and caregivers complete tasks and leave notes.
How is Grove different from Planta or Greg?
Planta and Greg are designed for one person managing their plants. Grove is designed for everyone who shares the care, from roommates to the gardener, and its AI explains why it recommends something and says when it isn't sure.
Will Grove tell me when not to water?
Yes. Grove treats watering as a check, not a fixed schedule; if no watering task is on today's list, the plant doesn't need water.
Can Grove help me care for my outdoor garden?
Yes. Mark a plant indoor or outdoor when you add it, and its care plan adjusts for where it actually lives — including the season outside.
Does Grove help me care for my bonsai?
Yes. Tell Grove it's grown as a bonsai and the care plan accounts for the training, pruning, and tighter watering that style of growing needs.
Can Grove help me identify why a plant isn't doing so well?
Yes. Snap 2 or 3 specific photos of the struggling plant and the issue you're seeing, and Grove identifies the likely causes — with a report and a recommended plan to get it back to thriving.
Do I need to know the exact plant species to use Grove?
No. Grove identifies the species from a photo — you don't have to know it going in, and you can always correct it with one tap if it's wrong.
Can I identify plants I see and add them to a wish list?
Yes. Point Grove at any plant — it doesn't have to be yours — and save it to a list for later. Decide if and when it joins your household.
Can I add someone to help care for my plants while I travel?
Yes. Add a caregiver before you leave and they'll know exactly what each plant needs while you're away, on schedule, the whole time.
Does Grove use AI?
Yes — our AI suggests care plans and guidance. But you know your plants best, so you can always edit a plan to fit what actually works for you and them.
