Plants don't live in rooms. They live in spots. GrowSpot scores the exact place you have in mind — measured light, temperature, humidity, airflow — and tells you honestly when it can't.

Free for 2 spots + 2 plants, nothing locked · Plus $4.99/mo or $29.99/yr
Real output from the app: one monstera, one specific spot — scored honestly, not flatteringly.
Snap a photo to identify it, or search the care library — where every fact is labeled by how verified it is.
Lay the phone right where the plant would live. GrowSpot measures the light that exact place actually gets — a real reading for that spot, not a guess for the whole room.
A fit score across light, temperature, humidity and airflow. Honest ranges instead of fake precision, re-checked as weather and seasons change.

One idea, carried all the way through — every feature answers the same question: will this plant be OK right here?
Not "is this room bright" — can this monstera live on this shelf. Four dimensions, one honest score.
Which window wins? Two spots one wall apart can be two different climates. Settle it with measurements.
When data is thin, it says "can't assess" instead of guessing. Care facts carry verification labels.
Care reminders that adapt to each plant and season, with weather alerts for the spots that need them.
Identify what you're holding, and diagnose problems with the spot's real conditions taken into account.
New leaves, repots, recoveries — kept as your plant's story, from the day it moved in.
"When it doesn't know, it says so."
Phone sensors can't know everything, and pretending otherwise kills plants. GrowSpot shows honest ranges instead of fake decimal points, labels every care fact by how verified it is, and would rather tell you "can't assess" than make something up. No fear tactics, no fake countdowns, and canceling a subscription takes two taps.
You set the phone down at the exact spot and measure. GrowSpot turns what it senses into honest brightness ranges rather than fake decimal points, then keeps re-tuning the reading to weather and seasons through the year. Precision varies between phones, so the app only ever claims what it can stand behind — and says "can't assess" when it can't.
Yes — it's the full app for 2 spots and 2 plants. No feature locks, no watered-down scores. If you grow more than that, Plus removes the limits.
Days away — closed testing is finishing now. Android folks can already claim a Founding 50 spot and start the moment it ships.
Identification and diagnosis photos are processed to give you an answer. The light meter works on-device and doesn't keep photos. GrowSpot never asks for photos of your home — just the plant and the reading. Details in the Privacy Policy.
Free to start. Honest all the way through.
