Boilerplate
GrowSpot is an independent plant-care app built around one idea: plants don't live in rooms, they live in spots. Set your phone down at the exact place you have in mind and GrowSpot scores it for a specific plant — measured light, temperature, humidity and airflow — then keeps re-scoring as seasons change. Its design rule is honesty: when the app can't assess something, it says so, and every care fact in its library is labeled by how verified it is. Free for 2 spots and 2 plants with no feature locks; GrowSpot Plus ($4.99/month or $29.99/year) removes the limits. Available on iOS, with Android launching now.

Story angles we can speak to
Why "which spot" beats "which plant" — the case for scoring places instead of species, and what phone sensors can and can't honestly measure.
Honesty as a product feature: shipping "can't assess" in a category known for confident wrong answers.
Building a care database that labels every fact by how verified it is, instead of pretending everything is equally certain.
