Quick answers
Is the plant care tracker really free?
Yes. Enter your name and email and we’ll send both versions, Google Sheets and Notion, straight to your inbox within a few minutes.
Do I need a paid Google or Notion account?
No. The Google Sheets version works with any free Google account, and the Notion version works on Notion’s free plan.
How does it know how often to water my plant?
Each of the 90 plants in the library has a typical watering rhythm based on its care needs. You can always set your own interval for a plant if your home is warmer, cooler or brighter than average.
Can I add a plant that isn’t in the library?
Yes. Pick the closest match, such as another succulent or fern, and type your own watering interval in the “My interval” column.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. Open your copy in the Google Sheets or Notion app and update “Last watered” in a couple of taps, right next to your plants.
