Keep every plant happy.
Fern tells you when each plant needs water, food or a little help. It asks you to feel the soil first, and learns your home as you go.
Free for 5 plants. Fern Pro free for 7 days.
Up and growing in three steps
- Step 1Add your plantsSearch by name or point the camera. Tell Fern where each one lives.
- Step 2Get a tailored planWatering and feeding worked out for each plant, its pot and its room.
- Step 3Never miss a beatA gentle reminder on the right day, and a soil check before each watering.
One calm home for your whole jungle
Never miss a watering
Before each watering, Fern asks how the soil feels. Still moist? The reminder moves to a better day.
Recommendations made for you
Plants on a balcony or outside follow the weather: watering waits when rain is coming, and Fern warns you before a frost.
Built-in light meter
Hold your iPhone where the plant sits and Fern tells you whether the spot is low, medium or bright light.
Share with your household
Invite the people you live with. Everyone gets the reminder until someone takes a plant on, and others cover when someone’s away.
Every place you grow
Living room, kitchen, balcony, office. Each place keeps its own light and plants, and you can add more than one home.
A journal that grows
Photos, notes and every watering in one timeline for each plant, so you can see how far it’s come.
Look up any plant by name
Type a few letters and Fern finds it. Each plant has its care, where it comes from and whether it’s safe for pets, each with its source.
Meet Dr. Fern
A plant expert in your pocket for the moments a reminder can’t help: a plant you don’t know, or one that looks unwell.
Grow together
Growers is Fern’s community: ask questions, share photos, run a poll or tell a plant’s story.
- Ask about your plantQuestions are sorted by species, so people who grow the same plant see them.

- Your home stays yoursYour public profile is separate from your home, and your exact location is never shown.
