Water Me: Plant Care App (Work in Progress)

An app for houseplant owners to check, schedule, and remind about watering their indoor green friends

This work-in-progress, personal project is near and dear to my heart and soul. You could say I'm a typical Millenial (an older one!) who owns over 70 gorgeous houseplants, ranging from the hardy Pothos to the trendy Monstera deliciosa. It's a big chore to keep them all happy and watered properly; I'm constantly walking around, sticking a finger in each pot, and checking the moisture levels. As my collection grew, I started to use some plant care apps to help me keep track, but one thing they were all missing was the ability to push a watering off a few days if the soil was still too wet.

​

Enter the idea for Water Me. Infusing low tech (sticking your finger in the plant's soil) into high tech (track and schedule watering based on plant needs), and filling in a missing component (push watering reminder out a few days) of plant care apps currently on the market. Water Me is also a start-to-finish user experience design piece, constantly iterating as I work toward the finished product.
