It began with buying Monstera Deliciosa and then a devils ivy.
Then I started running into some problems: yellowing leaves, brown spots, and waterlogged pots.
I searched the web and tried a few things but with no success.
It came, as most things do now, in the form of an app calledBlossom.
I use it on my iPhone, although it is available on Android too.
The latter is better equipped with a light-level feature that helps you find the ideal spot for a plant.
I really wish I had that feature!
Every part of the app is an absolute pleasure to use.
The app has genuinely made caring for my plants infinitely easier.
The first step on the journey towards plant perfection is to add plants to your garden.
The effective image search function easily identified every plant in my house.
Plants are not robots, though.
Over time, owners get to know their plants.
They know what they need as well as when they need it.
This hands-on knowledge is invaluable and helps fine-tune the care given.
Blossom does a great job of integrating these nuances into the core of the care plan.
Watering activities can be snoozed, or the time between repeating actions can be adjusted.
If Im honest, though, plant care wasnt really why I started using the app.
I needed help to stop my plants from dying.
By simply photographing the problem, I identified several diseases and issues with my plants.
Im not saying itll sort all your plant problems out, but it will help.
With all of my plants now doing well, Im on the lookout for new ones.
Can you ever have too many plants?
Okay, maybe you might, but Im not there yet.
Blossom gives me all the plants I might like to consider, resulting in a more confident plant purchase.
Having plants in my home and caring for them is one of my favorite things.
