Ah, plant parenthood. It's a labor of love, much like parenthood for your human spawn. If you are a plant lover, green thumb, or not-so-green thumb, then this post is for you. Imagine if there was an app that could help you...
The Blossom app is a multi-purpose plant app.
(BTW - I am not in any way endorsed to recommend this app. I just freaking love it!)
With this app, you can:
Identify Plants
Maybe you're like me and you found a plant on the side of the road and want to bring it home, and your husband tells you that you can get it if you can identify what it is. BOOM! No problem...just whip out your phone and pull up the Blossom app. Use their identification tool to figure out what it is.
Identify Plant Diseases
So this feature is only available on iOS right now, but it is a really convenient feature. Otherwise, you can just get on the Googler to find out more about your sick baby (plant, that is).
Find Care Tips
Find out everything about your plants, from fertilizing to propagating. Blossom can tell it all!
Setup Care Reminders
This ^
This is a BIG one for me. I was at the point where I was going weeks without watering my plants. Yes, you read that right...weeks. I felt like a negligent mother. And I definitely suffered from guilt by the time I actually remembered to water them. Luckily, the plants I have are quite resilient, so they came back. But I would prefer that I didn't let them suffer for so long without water.
With Blossom, you can set up reminders that remind you to water and fertilize every. single. plant that you have! Your plants can't tell you that they are hungry or thirsty like your human babies can. And if they do (sort of) tell you, it's when they are already shriveling up to a crisp.
Take before and after pics to see just how much healthier your plants look once you set up a regular watering and fertilization schedule for your plants. You will definitely see a difference!
Setup Your Own Personal Plant Collection
You can keep track of all your plants within the app. You can even make a wishlist of plants you want to buy in the future to keep building your little (or big!) plant family.

Keep a plant Journal
You can keep track of your plants progress in a plant journal. How do they look that day? What's their name? What music you played for them. What, not everyone does this?
Now while the entire app is not free, you can pay monthly or get a bundle if you want to experience the full features of the app. I believe they have a 3-month bundle you can purchase if you want to try the full version. That way you don't have to buy a full year at one time.
Still looking for more plants to add to your collection but don't know what to get? Take the Blossom companion plant quiz to find out what plant might be best for you!
