Each plant entry includes essential information such as species, care instructions, watering schedules, and photos. This feature ensures every plant receives the right attention, minimizing the risk of overwatering or neglect.
🏠 Custom Locations
Do you have plants spread across different rooms, balconies, or gardens? HortusFox allows you to create custom locations for better organization. Categorize plants based on their environment, like "Living Room," "Office Desk," or "Outdoor Garden," and monitor the specific conditions and tasks associated with each location.
📜 Tasks System
Stay on top of plant care with the HortusFox tasks system. Schedule and assign recurring tasks, such as watering, repotting, fertilizing, or pest control. Receive reminders and mark tasks as completed, ensuring no plant is left uncared for. This structured approach keeps your plant care routine efficient and stress-free.

📆 Calendar System
The built-in calendar integrates seamlessly with the tasks system, providing a comprehensive view of your plant care schedule. Easily plan and visualize tasks for weeks or months in advance, and sync it with your personal calendar for better coordination. This ensures that seasonal care, like pruning or transitioning indoor plants outdoors, is never forgotten.
