My Maintenance Plans
Group any plants you care for — two houseplants on a windowsill, a home garden, or a whole botanic garden — and get an instant, data-driven maintenance guide: watering and sun groups, a month-by-month task calendar, companion tips and safety notes.
Group the plants you're growing and Plant Reference builds a living maintenance guide for them — instantly, from each plant's real data. No subscriptions, no AI guesswork.
How your plant care schedule is built
Add your plants
Group whatever you care for into a plant set — two pots or two thousand.
Get an instant guide
Plant Reference derives watering and sun groups, a month-by-month task calendar, companion tips, and safety notes — automatically.
Garden by the month
Each month shows exactly what to prune, deadhead, plant and mulch — and taps through to the plants that need it.
Built from your plants’ real data
Your seasonal maintenance schedule — pruning windows, bloom months, watering needs, frost tolerance — comes straight from the botanical record of the plants in your set. Nothing generic, nothing invented.
- Works at any scale — houseplants, home gardens, estates and public gardens
- Zone-aware timing when your garden has a location
- Southern-hemisphere seasons handled automatically
- Updates itself as you add or remove plants
What’s in every guide
Live care tasks, always with you
Your month’s jobs live in the header on every page — tick them off, defer three days, or skip, with each garden grouped separately.
Frost & heat alerts
Real forecasts for your garden’s location: frost warnings for tender plants, heat-wave alerts before scorchers — and watering nudges that skip after real rain.
Watering & sun groups
Plants sorted into low/moderate/high water and full-sun/partial/shade — so you water and place smartly.
Timed to your zone
Planting, sowing and winter-protection months anchored to your hardiness zone’s actual frost window — Southern hemisphere included.
Companion & safety notes
Good pairings, conflicts, and toxicity warnings for pets and children — flagged where they apply.
Print, export & share
Per-garden task worksheets with tick boxes, a clean PDF, calendar export, and a private share link for clients or plant-sitters.
