Watering Reminder

Pick a plant and the day you last watered it. We'll suggest when to check the soil and make a calendar reminder you can add to your phone.

The interval is only a starting point. Light, season, pot size and potting mix all change how fast soil dries. Check the soil before you water, and water only when it is dry to the depth your plant's guide recommends.

The calendar file is made in your browser. "Save on this device" keeps your list in this browser only (localStorage); we never see it.

Intervals come from the watering guidance in each plant's sources (see its care guide). Where a source gives no number, the interval is our starting estimate from that guidance.
