Plantrs
A garden journal for plantitos and plantitas.
Grow anything from seed to harvest. Plantrs reminds you each morning which plants are thirsty, tells you what stage they’re in and what comes next, and draws every plant at its real stage — so you can watch your tomatoes go from seed to flowers to fruit. It comes with a guide to 31 Filipino garden plants, from the Bahay Kubo vegetables to the houseplants of the plantito era. No account, and your garden stays on your phone.
From the first seed to the first harvest
Made for beginners, rooted in Filipino gardens.
-
Watering, sorted
One reminder each morning, and only when something actually needs water. Tap a plant to mark it watered; tap again if you slipped.
-
Plants that grow with yours
Every plant is illustrated at its real stage — a seed in the soil, a sprout, first flowers, then fruit — based on the day you planted it.
-
Seed-to-harvest guide
31 plants with days to sprout and harvest, sun, water, season and beginner tips, timed for lowland Philippine conditions.
-
The Bahay Kubo garden
Every vegetable from the folk song, gathered into one starter collection. Kangkong, sitaw, talong, kalabasa and more.
-
A journal for each plant
Notes and photos as it grows, plus a full watering log, so you remember what worked next season.
-
What plant is this?
Point your camera at a leaf or flower for a likely match from the guide, analyzed on your phone with nothing uploaded.
A gardening app made for Philippine gardens
Most plant apps are written for cold-climate gardens. Plantrs is timed for ours.
Whether you're starting kangkong from market stems, growing pechay in a grow bag on the balcony, or keeping a monstera alive in a Manila condo, Plantrs tells you when to water and what to expect next. Every plant in the guide has days to sprout and days to harvest for lowland Philippine weather, the best season to plant, how much sun it needs, and three beginner tips.
The guide covers vegetables (kangkong, pechay, mustasa, labanos, kamatis, talong, sitaw, sigarilyas, ampalaya, okra, siling labuyo, upo, patola, kalabasa, mais, sibuyas, bawang, mani), herbs (malunggay, tanglad, oregano, pandan, luya), fruit (kalamansi), flowers (sampaguita, gumamela, mayana) and houseplants (monstera, snake plant, pothos, aglaonema).
New to gardening? Start with the Bahay Kubo garden, the vegetables from the song every Filipino grew up singing, or the quick wins you can harvest in about a month.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Plantrs free?
Yes. Plantrs is free to download and use, with no ads and no in-app purchases.
Where is my garden stored?
On your iPhone. There’s no account, no Plantrs server and no third-party analytics. iCloud sync is planned for a later version.
Is it only for Filipino plants?
The guide focuses on plants Filipino gardeners grow — vegetables, herbs, fruit, flowers and houseplants — with timings for lowland Philippine weather. The tracker works for any plant you add.
How often should I water my plants in the Philippines?
It depends on the plant. Leafy greens like kangkong and pechay want water every day; fruiting vegetables like eggplant and sitaw every two days; houseplants like monstera and pothos about once a week; and a snake plant only every two weeks. Plantrs sets the right schedule when you add a plant and reminds you each morning.
What are the easiest vegetables to grow for beginners?
Kangkong (about 3 weeks to harvest), radish (about 4 weeks), pechay and mustard greens (about a month), and okra and sitaw (under two months). Turn on "Beginner-friendly only" in the Plantrs guide to see them all.
How accurate is plant identification?
It recognises broad types like tomato, chili or hibiscus and suggests matches from the guide. It can be wrong, so never eat a plant based on it.
